Age alone may not adequately reflect prognosis after aortic valve replacement. In this nationwide Danish cohort, comorbidity burden was a major determinant of observed survival, with implications for lifetime management strategies and valve selection.

In patients undergoing TAVI, this meta-analysis of randomised trials suggested that routine PCI reduced MACE and unplanned revascularisation at the expense of increased major bleeding. Physiology-guided PCI was associated with the most favourable efficacy profile among the strategies evaluated. 🔗eurointervention.pcronline.c… @KamilBujak12 @DanieleGiacoppo @LaudaniClaudio @marcospagnolo21 @mariasaramauro @giacinto_dileo @Sim_Finocchiaro @AGrecoMD @DFCapodanno #TAVI #PCI #CoronaryArteryDisease

In the Multivessel TALENT trial, core lab QCA identified lower device success rates after PCI than visual assessment (88.0% vs 97.4%). Failure to meet QCA-based criteria was associated with higher rates of lesion-oriented clinical events at 1 year. READ MORE HERE: eurointervention.pcronline.c…
