A new embolic protection device from Emboline was noninferior to the FDA-approved Sentinel device in terms of safety and efficacy. In addition, it captured much more TAVR-generated debris and was linked to an improved technical success rate.
The advanced algorithm, which previously received the FDA's breakthrough device designation, detects signs of pulmonary hypertension in standard 12-lead electrocardiograms.
New 30-day data presented at ACC.26 helped answer questions cardiologists have had been asking for years. “Thank you for bringing PE into the future," one vascular specialist said from the stage.
