Iso-osmolar vs low-osmolar contrast agents for coronary optical coherence tomography: a blinded prospective randomized controlled study
CONCLUSIONS: The use of IOCM in coronary OCT is associated with similar contrast volume and clear imaging length when compared with LOCM.PMID:38446023 | DOI:10.25270/jic/23.00136 (Source: The Journal of Invasive Cardiology)

Hybrid robotic-assisted coronary revascularization and transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a single-center experience
CONCLUSIONS: This innovative, less invasive approach demonstrates the potential for early recovery in appropriately selected patients with complex coronary and aortic valve disease with promising mid-term outcomes.PMID:38446024 | DOI:10.25270/jic/23.00308 (Source: The Journal of Invasive Cardiology)

Optimal oversizing in transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the self-expanding Evolut valve system
CONCLUSIONS: In TAVR with the Evolut valve, a higher oversizing was associated with lower rates of moderate-to-severe PVL and a lower need for post-dilation, with no negative impact on procedural and early clinical outcomes. A 20% oversizing threshold could be suggested to reduce PVLs. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate optimal oversizing for this valve system.PMID:38446025 | DOI:10.25270/jic/24.00011 (Source: The Journal of Invasive Cardiology)
