Novel transcatheter spacer for tricuspid regurgitation

Fabian Barbieri, Markus Reinthaler, et al.

An 81-year-old male patient with severe, functional tricuspid regurgitation underwent a novel transcutaneous implantation of a spacer device (Pivot Extend), resulting in a reduction in TR severity and improvement in right ventricular function.

DFA access compression in lower limb angioplasty

Róbert Bellavics, Zoltan Ruzsa, et al.

This study compared the safety and efficacy of two closure devices, StatSeal and TR Band, for distal foot artery access site closure in 150 patients undergoing lower-limb endovascular interventions. Both devices showed low access site complication rates.

Intrepid transapical TMVR 5-year outcomes

Gilbert H.L. Tang, Michael J. Reardon, et al.

This single-arm study evaluated the 5-year outcomes of the early-generation Intrepid transapical transcatheter mitral valve replacement system in high-risk patients with symptomatic ≥moderate-severe mitral regurgitation, observing sustained mitral regurgitation reduction and durable valve performance among survivors.

Intra-annular TAVI in small annuli

Stefano Cannata, Azeem Latib, et al.

This study compared the outcomes of TAVI using the self-expanding Navitor and balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3 Ultra transcatheter heart valves in patients with small aortic annuli. The Navitor device showed better hemodynamic performance but higher rates of mild paravalvular leak and permanent pacemaker implantation.

Retrieval of a stuck TAVI device

Masakazu Yasuda, Gaku Nakazawa, et al.

A 71-year-old male with schizophrenia and chronic subdural hematoma underwent urgent TAVI using a 26 mm SAPIEN 3 valve via left subclavian access. Prosthesis-balloon alignment failure and balloon rupture occurred, requiring retrieval of the stuck prosthesis and delivery system via the left ventricular apex.

Impact of coronary dominance on LM PCI prognosis

Yingyang Geng, Lei Song, et al.

This retrospective study found that left-dominant patients undergoing PCI for left main disease had a higher risk of long-term adverse events, particularly target vessel revascularization, compared to non-left-dominant patients.

COMPARE trial: 5-year results

Tim Wittig, Sabine Steiner, et al.

The COMPARE trial found no significant difference in 5-year clinically driven target lesion revascularization rates between low-dose and high-dose paclitaxel-coated balloons for the treatment of femoropopliteal lesions in patients with lower limb peripheral artery disease.
