Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a new procedure called splanchnic nerve ablation for managing fluid volume in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).* -
- Conducted as a phase 2, double-blind, randomized trial involving 90 patients across 15 centers, the study compared the outcomes of the nerve ablation procedure to a sham control.* -
- Results showed no significant differences in both the primary outcomes (reduction in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure) and safety events between the treatment and control groups, suggesting that the nerve ablation may not provide the expected benefits for these patients.*
Estimating the likelihood of urgent mechanical circulatory support (MCS) can facilitate procedural planning and clinical decision-making in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We analyzed 2,784 CTO PCIs performed between 2012 and 2021 at 12 centers. The variable importance was estimated by a bootstrap applying a random forest algorithm to a propensity-matched sample (a ratio of 1:5 matching cases with controls on center).

We evaluated the mechanism and efficacy of IVL in facilitating optimal stent implantation in heavily calcified coronary lesions using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
Methods: Forty-six patients were initially enrolled as a part of the Disrupt CAD III study.
