Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation After Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defect in Adult Patients: Long-Term Follow-Up
Conclusions Significant TR decreased during the long-term follow-up period after transcatheter ASD closure. Heart failure symptoms improved in patients with severe/moderate TR. Our findings suggest that transcatheter closure alone can be valuable in patients with ASD complicated with TR. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions)

Intracardiac Echocardiography From the Left Atrium for Procedural Guidance of Transcatheter Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
Conclusions LA ICE to guide LAAO as compared with TEE appears to be effective and safe, without increased procedure-related complications. The rate of peridevice leak is low and similar to TEE-guided procedures. Time spent in the catheterization room may decrease substantially.

Outcomes of Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Diabetes: Insights From the OPEN CTO Registry
Conclusions Although technical success was lower in patients with diabetes, this reflected lower success among patients with prior bypass surgery, without any significant difference in success rate after adjusting for prior bypass and disease complexity. CTO PCI complication rates are similar in diabetic and nondiabetic patients, and symptom improvement following CTO PCI is robust and of a similar magnitude regardless of diabetes status.
