Volume 15 Number 11

In this issue the NOTION TRIAL looks at the cost-effectiveness of TAVI in patients at lower surgical risk; the final results of the REDUCE trial examining the optimal duration of DAPT in ACS patients treated with DES; a look at the impact of FFR in guiding CABG – the GRAFFITI trial; BIOFLOW-IV, studying the Orsiro sirolimus-eluting stent; and a study of multivessel PCIs in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and severe renal dysfunction.
