A Conversation with Prof. Davide Capodanno, M.D., Ph.D. on the Landmark TAILOR-PCI Clinical Trial Results
After seven years and 5,300-patients tested, the results of the landmark TAILOR-PCI trial were announced in a virtual ACC session. This trial investigated whether a prospective approach using rapid on-site CYP2C19 testing could improve patient outcomes when selecting P2Y12 inhibitor therapy following PCI procedure. This is based on the well-established evidence that approximately 30-50% of ...

What is heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)?
Overview What is HFpEF? Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a clinical syndrome in which patients have signs and symptoms of HF as the result of high left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, despite normal or near-normal LV ejection fraction (EF). Most patients with HFpEF also display normal LV volumes and an abnormal diastolic filling pattern (i.e, diastolic ...

Arteriovenous Fistulae for Haemodialysis: A Systematic Review and Metaanalysis of Efficacy and Safety Outcomes
Background: Arteriovenous fistulae are the currently recommended gold standard vascular access modality for haemodialysis because of their prolonged patency, improved durability, and low risk of infection for those that mature. However, notable disadvantages are observed in terms of protracted maturation time, associated high rates of catheter use, and substantial abandonment rates. The aim of ...

LimFlow Percutaneous Deep Venous Arterialization
What interested you in LimFlow, and how did you get involved in the PROMISE I trial? Dr. Clair: Practicing vascular surgery, where a number of patients are evaluated for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), you are guaranteed to have patients who are not candidates for percutaneous or surgical revascularization. These patients often have arterial systems open or identifiable to the ankle, ...
