Redo-TAVI with the ACURATE neo2 and Prime XL for balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve failure
CONCLUSIONS: Redo-TAVI with an ACn2/AC XL within an S3 has favourable hydrodynamic performance and less pinwheeling compared to an S3 in S3. This comes at the price of a taller neoskirt.PMID:38506739 | PMC:PMC10941669 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-23-00783 (Source: EuroIntervention)

A study of bailout plug-based closure after failed suture-based closure in patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI
CONCLUSIONS: Bailout MANTA after ProGlide failure was effective and safe, but operator experience seems to be crucial. Further technological refinements to facilitate accurate placement appear necessary.PMID:38506741 | PMC:PMC10941667 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-23-00750 (Source: EuroIntervention)

Biological differences of three paclitaxel- and sirolimus-coated balloons on coronary lesions in a rabbit model
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that PCBs might have higher efficacy and lower drug concentrations in distal skeletal muscles than the MagicTouch SCB. The efficacy of the AGENT low-dose PCB and the SeQuent Please NEO regular-dose PCB was comparable.PMID:38506736 | PMC:PMC10941670 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-23-00425 (Source: EuroIntervention)

Comparison of two self-expanding transcatheter heart valves for degenerated surgical bioprostheses: the AVENGER multicentre registry
CONCLUSIONS: ViV TAVI using either ACURATE or Evolut THVs showed similar procedural outcomes. However, a true ID >19 mm was associated with higher device success among ACURATE recipients, whereas in patients with a true ID ≤19 mm, device success was higher when using Evolut.PMID:38506737 | PMC:PMC10941672 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-23-00779 (Source: EuroIntervention)
