Long-Term Performance, Safety of First Modular Cardiac Rhythm Management System
Researchers from a preclinical trial examined safety and performance of a 2-part cardiac rhythm management system, consisting of a leadless pacemaker and S-ICD.
Interventional
Transradial vs Transfemoral PCI Approaches Compared in Chronic Kidney Disease
Researchers evaluated the safety and efficacy of transradial vs transfemoral access in patients with CKD undergoing PCI.
Magnets in Consumer Electronics May Interfere With Pacemakers, ICDs
In close proximity (1 to 11 mm), static magnetic fields created by iPhone 12, Apple Watch 6 models can interfere with pacemakers, ICDs.
Major CV Event Risk Reduced With Minimal Reduction in Systolic Blood Pressure
This study challenges the view that history of cardiovascular disease is a key factor in decisions about blood pressure-lowering treatment.
Exercise Therapy and Lower Extremity Revascularization Effective for Peripheral Artery Disease
Exercise therapy and lower extremity revascularization both improve walking performance in symptomatic patients with peripheral artery disease, concluded researchers after a comprehensive review of several randomized controlled trials.
Optimal Implantation Depth Not Met in Majority of TAVR Procedures
Optimal implantation depth was found to be achieved in <30% of transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures.
Tip Detection Method With New IVUS-Based 3D Wiring Facilitates CTO Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
A tip detection method using a newly developed intravascular ultrasound-based three-dimensional wiring was found to superior to conventional method for chronic total occlusion-percutaneous coronary intervention.
Consensus Recommendations and Requirements for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Intervention
Members of 4 societies published a consensus system of care document containing operator and institutional recommendations and requirements for transcatheter mitral valve interventions.
Recall of Pacemaker in November 2015 Was Delayed Unnecessarily
Recall of a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker, which occurred in November 2015, was delayed unnecessarily.
Risk Score for Predicting Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infection
Age, reduced renal function, immunocompromised status, prior procedures, and procedure type were found to represent independent predictors of risk of developing a cardiac implantable electronic device infection.
