Examining Long-Term Outcomes of Drug-Eluting vs Bare Metal In-Stent Restenosis
Patients with drug-eluting stent-related in-stent restenosis (ISR) were found to have poorer long-term outcomes than patients with bare-metal stent-related ISR.

Valve-In-Valve TAVR vs SAVR: Short- and Long-Term Outcomes
Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement had superior short-term outcomes than redo surgical aortic valve replacement, but comparable long-term outcomes.
Epicardial Spasms May Increase the Risk for Myocardial Infarction
Among patients with coronary artery spasms, those with epicardial spasms had an increased risk for repeat angiography and myocardial infarction.
Guideline-Concordant Gout Therapy Associated With Improved Arterial Function, Reduced Inflammation
Researchers assessed whether initiating guideline-concordant gout therapy improved arterial function and reduced inflammation.

COVID-19 ICU patients exhibited distinct phenotypic traits that suggested standard VTE prophylaxis is insufficient in this population.
Obesity in Young Adulthood Tied to Later Venous Thromboembolism
Men who are obese or severely obese in young adulthood have an increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) later in life.
Corticosteroids and Traditional CV Risk Factors Worsen Atherosclerotic Indices in Patients With RA
In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and corticosteroids may increase the risk of worsening subclinical atherosclerosis indices over a 1-year period.
New Machine Learning Model Superior for Predicting Risk for In-Stent Restenosis in STEMI
The use of a new open-source machine learning model immediately following stent implantation in patients with STEMI was found to provide a more accurate estimate of the risk for in-stent restenosis compared with currently used parameters.
