Drones deliver AEDs for the first time in the United States

Duke University is heading a project that for the first time in the United States, drones will be used to quickly deliver automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to bystanders who call 911 for patients in cardiac arrest. The idea is to deliver an AED faster than police or paramedics could arrive on scene, saving critical minutes in an effort to boost survival.

“This study represents a major step forward in how we respond to cardiac arrest in the United States,” explained Monique Starks, MD, principal investigator. “By integrating drone technology into emergency care, we’re working to close the critical gap between cardiac arrest and treatment."

SCAI: Noncompete contracts unfairly bind cardiologists to hospitals unless they move

"These provisions are contained in what amounts, in many cases, to contracts of adhesion, because a physician’s only choice is to accept the terms of the contract without revision or else forgo employment," the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions wrote to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Largest network of private cardiology groups in US to deploy GE HealthCare's cardiac PET tracer

The new cardiac PET radiotracer flurpiridaz F-18 is posed to be a major game changer and will likely lead to increased adoption of cardiac PET.

One of the tracer’s more significant advantages is its extended half-life of 109 minutes—significantly longer than other currently available PET MPI imaging agents.

Myval TAVR valve outperforms Sapien and Evolut in the late-breaking LANDMARK trial

Meril Life Sciences, an India-based medical device company founded in 2006, developed the Myval TAVR valve. The Myval transcatheter heart valve (THV) is non-inferior to the Sapien 3 THV after one year, according to new transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) data published in The Lancet.

New physician Medicare payments for the Agent drug-coated balloon set for 2027

Boston Scientific said it initiated the AGENT DCB STANCE trial to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Agent Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) compared to the standard of care using either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) and/or balloon angioplasty. The trial will enroll more than 1,600 patients and is expected to a primary completion date in 2028.

Boston Scientific said two category III CPT codes are set to become permanent category I codes for physician payments starting Jan. 1, 2027.

U.S. International Federal Trade Commission reviews ban on new Apple Watch pulse oximeter

Apple has officially introduced the Apple Watch Ultra 3, which will provide notifications when it detects signs of chronic high blood pressure once the technology is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Masimo’s complaint over the new version of the Apple Watch could lead to an import ban if it is found that the technology infringes on its patents.
