The new Self-Centering Guide Catheter was designed to help care teams with the retrograde crossing of the aortic valve during TAVR. Researchers evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the catheter, sharing their experience in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.

The biggest differences, researchers noted, were found in the long-term outcomes of low- and intermediate-risk patients.

Evan Shlofmitz, DO, director of intravascular imaging at St. Francis Hospital, explains how advanced artificial intelligence technology is used to assess a patient's CT scan before they undergo PCI.

The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association published the new guidelines with assistance from other leading U.S. medical societies. 

The ACC, AHA, HFSA, HRS and SCAI all worked together to try and make the new board a reality. Though their proposal has been denied, the groups say they are not done fighting. 

The rapid rise of CCTA represents one of cardiology’s biggest ongoing trends, but most primary care providers are still not embracing a CT-first strategy.

New technology now being considered by the FDA for approval can capture coronary inflammation on CCTA images and provide risk assessments. What could this mean for the future of cardiac care? We spoke to one researcher to learn more.

Transfemoral TAVR is not always a viable option. In those instances, the two most effective alternatives are transcarotid access and transcaval access, according to a new SCAI expert consensus statement.
