Updated #CCS guidelines - Left main: ✅ CABG favored over medical therapy and PCI overall (I - A) ✅ PCI acceptable in low complexity & complete revasc likely (I - A) ✅ Ad hoc PCI should disappear - patients with equal recommendations need #HeartTeam discussion #ESCCongress

❗️Late-Breaking Science by Torsten Doenst at #ESCCongress ❗️ 👉In a regional registry analysis, SAVR was associated with increased long-term survival compared to TAVI - independent of the region of the world! 👉 Not a single study favored TAVI 👉10 out of 13 studies favored SAVR

📈 Delighted to present our findings at #ESCCongress 👉The use of FIB-4 to determine subclincal liver fibrosis may be powerful to predict mortality in CAD populations which may not show any evident clinical signs of liver dysfunction 👏🏻 Uniklinik Jena Weill Cornell Medicine Cardiothoracic Surgery

❗️Late Breaking Science presented by Elmir Omerovic at #ESCCongress❗️ PCI or CABG for MVD in NSTE-ACS?-SWEDEHEART registry report: 👉 CABG is associated with ⬇️ risks of mortality, MI, repeat revascularization, and heart failure patients, particularly in high-risk subgroups!

💊Colchicine reduces POAF in patients after CABG! 🫀 Big contribution by Hristo Kirov at #ESCCongress in London

Hristo Kirov Sachin Goel Torsten Doenst Patrick Myers Michel Pompeu Sá Victor Dayan Faisal Bakaeen MD Dominique Vervoort Andrea Amabile, MD Ovidio García Wei-Guo Ma, MD Maral Ouzounian There is an important bias against SAVR regarding long term durability in major RCTs: up to 1/3 of the SAVR valves included, are nowadays discontinued and removed from the market due to severe quality issues (for example Trifecta). So RCTs are not completely free from confounders

🆕After invasive CAD therapy, change in short-term Qol was associated all-cause mortality in an ISCHEMIA-trial post-hoc analysis! Presented by Tulio Caldonazo at the #ESCCongress in London!

Sachin Goel Mateo Marín-Cuartas Hristo Kirov Torsten Doenst Patrick Myers Michel Pompeu Sá Faisal Bakaeen MD Dominique Vervoort Andrea Amabile, MD Ovidio García Wei-Guo Ma, MD Maral Ouzounian The problem is that TAVR vs SAVR trials compare Ferrari vs an automobile fair. I believe this is wjat Mateo Marín-Cuartas is highlighting

Sunil V. Rao Hristo Kirov Torsten Doenst Patrick Myers Michel Pompeu Sá Victor Dayan Faisal Bakaeen MD Mateo Marín-Cuartas Dominique Vervoort Andrea Amabile, MD Ovidio García Wei-Guo Ma, MD Maral Ouzounian There are a lot of unmeasured confounder on all the #industry #sponsor #RCTs of #TAVI vs #SAVR. Real data nowadays is very difficult to find and interpret.

🤝Grateful to have been present as a team at the world's largest cardiovascular medicine congress. 🫀Thank you for an incredible experience!

🚨 Postoperative bleeding requiring re-exploration is a major risk, not just in the short-term but also in the long run 🏥 It’s linked to lower survival rates & higher risks of stroke, renal and respiratory complications & longer hospital stays 👉 More: shorturl.at/F30aZ
