Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) from infrapopliteal disease have better long-term clinical outcomes when they receive the Esprit BTK drug-eluting resorbable scaffold (DRS) versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), 3-year results from the LIFE-BTK trial show.

New research shows that early hemodynamic valve deterioration (HVD) causes adverse events and clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and can be a prognostic indicator for patients undergoing the procedure. Read more from EuroPCR 2026 on CRTonline.

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) puts patients at greater risk for death, heart attack, repeat revascularization and heart failure (HF) hospitalization, and patients with or without epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD) should be evaluated for CMD, according to data from a new registry analysis. Read more from EuroPCR 2026 on CRTonline.

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) have similar stroke and death outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but younger patients who undergo LAAC have lower bleeding events, a secondary analysis of the CHAMPION-AF trial shows.

Emerging deep learning models could improve cardiac image analysis by capturing anatomy, function and motion more effectively than traditional convolutional neural networks, say researchers, who note that clinical validation is still needed before these tools can be widely used in practice.

Lacunar stroke and cerebral small-vessel disease (cSVD) are strongly associated with basilar artery dolichoectasia (BADE) and wider intracranial arteries but not with large-artery stenosis (LAS), according to new data that challenge the role of atherosclerosis-focused mechanisms in lacunar stroke and cSVD.

Patients with premature coronary artery disease (CAD) are adhering to high-intensity lipid-lowering therapy in the short-term, 17-year data show, but long-term strategies are needed to promote continued medication use in these patients to prevent cardiac events like heart attack and stroke.
