Volume 15 Number 13

This issue includes an important update of the 2014 EHRA/EAPCI expert consensus statement on catheter-based left atrial appendage occlusion; BMI and long-term outcomes after PCI - the obesity paradox revisited; a novel treatment for left pulmonary artery stenosis with double balloons – the oval LPA technique; a position statement from the EAPCI on defining device success for PCI trials; and early haemodynamic changes and long-term outcome of patients with severe low-gradient AS after TAVR.
