TAVI: Boston Scientific’s Lotus valve tops Medtronic’s CoreValve – study
Data from a study of Boston Scientific‘s (NYSE:BSX) Lotus Valve showed a greater device success rate than Medtronic‘s (NYSE:MDT) CoreValve in high-risk transcatheter aortic valve replacement patients.
The single-center, non-randomized study, published this month in the journal JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, compared outcomes from 50 high-risk TAVI patients treated with the Lotus valve and 50 similar patients treated with Medtronic’s self-expanding CoreValve device.
Success rates were higher at 30 days in the Lotus group, at 84%, versus 64% with CoreValve, according to the study. These results...

Study: Afib doubles stroke risk after surgery
Surgical patients who experience atrial fibrillation may see a doubled stroke risk in the months following their procedure, according to a new study published in JAMA.
Results from a new study suggest that atrial fibrillation (AF) may pose a significant threat to patients undergoing surgery, especially those having non-cardiac procedures.
In an analysis of more than 1.7 million patients, researchers found that perioperative AF was associated with twice the risk of stroke in patients who had non-cardiac surgery. Patients who underwent a cardiac procedure saw a 30% increase in their stroke risk.
