JUST OUT #JACCINT @JACCJournals ! Our Redo #TAVR concept and planning simplified. Coronary Risk Zone (CRZ) denotes the zone that you MUST measure the valve to coronary/aorta/STJ distance to assess coronary obstruction risk. The minimal distance is what matter most. Great work by @OleDeBacker @bapat_savrtavr @Miho_Fukui_ @SyedZaid to help move this field forward!

#EuroPCR 2025 Major Late-Breaking Trials – One-month dual antiplatelet therapy followed by prasugrel monotherapy at a reduced dose
Results of the 4D-ACS randomised trial show that, at 12-months, NACE occurred in 4.9% of the 1-month #DAPT group and 8.8% of the 12-month DAPT group, meeting criteria for both non-inferiority and superiority. Major bleeding occurred in 0.6% vs 4.6% (HR 0.13; p=0.007) in the 1-month DAPT vs 12-month DAPT group, respectively. Ischaemic outcomes were similar in both groups.

Just presented at TCT and published in NEJM by @PhilGenereuxMD showing superiority of early TAVR in asymptomatic
severe AS. This trial will change the guidelines !

Lovely study from our Trinity and St James colleagues shedding light on some symptoms associated with long covid. Raises question re long term neurocognitive outcomes. @tilda – at Ritten, Trentino-South Tyrol
Leaky blood-brain barrier in long-COVID associated brain fog
This study confirms everything I have seen in the microscope over the last few years.
They use a technique called dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), an imaging technique that can measure the density, integrity, and leakiness of tissue vasculature.
Comparing all individuals with previous COVID infection to unaffected controls revealed decreased general brain volume in patients with brain fog along with significantly reduced cerebral white matter volume in both hemispheres in the recovered and brain fog cohorts
#Covid_19 induces brain volume loss and leaky blood-brain barrier in some patients. How can this be more clear?

Congrats to St James Cardiology colleagues who organise this very popular stimulating annual Live Cardiology education and training meeting. 👏👏@escardio @irishcardiacsoc @stjamesdublin – at Ritten, Trentino-South Tyrol
Was at the 20th annual @stjamesdublin & @tcddublin Live Cardiology Meeting this morning. ‘Live’ refers to the fact that participants see live operations as well as discuss advances and techniques. A real learning opportunity for staff & students thanks to Andrew Maree and team 👏
