Transcatheter vs Surgical Treatment in Aortic Stenosis with Coronary Artery Disease: Meta-Analysis of Time-to-Event Data

A new meta-analysis published in the journal Heart & Lung has shed light on the effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with concomitant severe aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary artery

Novel Non-hyperemic Coronary Physiology Indices for Vessel Longitudinal Analysis

A groundbreaking study on cardiovascular research has been published, introducing two novel non-hyperemic coronary physiology indices designed for longitudinal vessel analysis. These indices aim to guide physicians in making informed decisions for percutaneous coronary interventions. The study involved 415 patients who underwent pressure-wire functional assessments between March 2015 and November
