DOACs versus warfarin in post-STEMI LVT
Yaser Jenab, Behnood Bikdeli, et al.
This randomized trial and pooled analysis compared rivaroxaban and warfarin for left ventricular thrombus resolution in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction, suggesting DOACs may be as effective and safe as warfarin.

DOACs versus warfarin for left ventricular thrombosis
Felicita Andreotti, Francesco Burzotta
A randomized pilot trial and meta-analysis support the use of rivaroxaban or apixaban instead of warfarin for post-myocardial infarction left ventricular thrombus resolution.

RADIANCE ultrasound renal denervation pooled-crossover analysis
Michael J. Bloch, Michael Weber, et al.
Ultrasound renal denervation (uRDN) significantly lowered ambulatory systolic blood pressure in patients with mild to moderate hypertension at 2, 6, and 12 months post-intervention compared to baseline.

Microvascular angina: study enrolment and treatment
Matthew Hammond-Haley, Rasha Al-Lamee, et al.
This systematic review found that only a quarter of studies on the treatment of microvascular angina enrolled patients meeting contemporary diagnostic criteria. There is a lack of high-quality randomized data to support any specific treatment intervention.

Polymer-free versus biodegradable-polymer DES
Raffaele Piccolo, Giovanni Esposito, et al.
In all-comer patients undergoing PCI, polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stents were non-inferior to biodegradable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents in terms of a device-oriented composite endpoint at 1-year, but had a higher risk of early stent thrombosis.

Managing device-related risks
Jens Flensted Lassen, Lisette Okkels Jensen
The content discusses the evolution of percutaneous coronary interventions, including the introduction of balloon angioplasty, bare metal stents, and drug-eluting stents, and the need to balance the risks of restenosis, stent thrombosis, and bleeding.

Comprehensive diagnosis in CCS patients
Adrián Jerónimo, Javier Escaned, et al.
The study found that the use of an advanced invasive diagnosis (AID) strategy, combining angiography and intracoronary testing, identified a cause of myocardial ischemia in 84.2% of patients with chronic coronary syndromes, compared to 32.2% with invasive coronary angiography alone.

FFR-CT in patients with high-risk NSTE-ACS
David Meier, Stephane Fournier, et al.
This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of FFR-CT and CCTA in high-risk NSTE-ACS patients, using ICA with invasive FFR as the gold standard. FFR-CT showed numerically higher diagnostic accuracy compared to CCTA, suggesting it can reduce unnecessary invasive procedures.

CCTA/FFR-CT in NSTEMI
Nick Curzen
This study evaluates the use of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and fractional flow reserve computed tomography (FFR-CT) in the investigation and management of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients, finding that CCTA can reduce the need for invasive coronary angiography.

Next-day discharge post-TAVI: new standard of care?
Giuliano Costa and Sofia Sammartino
The study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of next-day discharge after uncomplicated transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures, with no significant differences in 30-day readmission rates compared to patients discharged later.

Safety of deferral by QFR in FAVOR III Europe
Birgitte K. Andersen, Javier Escaned et al.
This study found that QFR-based deferral of coronary revascularization resulted in a higher incidence of 1-year major adverse cardiac events compared to FFR-based deferral, mainly driven by unplanned revascularizations.
