Specialists from the fields of interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery collaborated to perform what is believed to be the first completely catheter-based Fontan procedure in U.S. history. The young patient's recovery was much easier than it would have been otherwise.

The team behind this new meta-analysis reviewed data from more than 24,000 patients with a mean age of nearly 65 years old. They identified several benefits to choosing intravascular imaging guidance during PCI over traditional angiography alone.

More than 95% of congenital heart patients now survive into adulthood, leaving clinicians with much more ground to cover than ever before. Providing high-quality care for these patients requires specialty care as well as collaborations with general cardiologists.

The size-adjustable pulmonary valve was originally developed by Autus Valve Technologies, which Edwards Lifesciences acquired for $128.9 million. The device was designed to grow with pediatric patients as they age. Clinicians can expand it as necessary with a minimally invasive balloon procedure.

Clinicians have believed for years that menopause was responsible for a dramatic shift in pulse pressure that occurs in women as they age. According to a large new study, however, that change appears to occur years before menopause even begins.

Representatives from ACC, AHA, ESC and WHF worked together to update the universal definition of myocardial infarction. This includes a new classification system that separates events into three categories: primary MI, secondary MI and procedure-related MI.
