ATLANTA — Transcatheter implant of an inter-atrial shunt had drastically different results depending on ejection fraction in patients with HF, a speaker reported at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session.

The 2024 American College of Cardiology Scientific Session will be held live in Atlanta from April 6 to 8 and virtually, with 43 late-breaking trials and featured clinical research presentations.

Arrow International, a subsidiary of Teleflex, has issued a recall of its radial artery and arterial line catheterization kits due to increased resistance that may cause injury to the vessel wall, vasospasm, embolism or death.

Abbott announced the FDA approved its novel transcatheter edge-to-edge repair system designed for the treatment of tricuspid regurgitation.

Pooled 5-year data of an intra-annular self-expanding transcatheter heart valve in patients with severe aortic stenosis at high surgical risk showed good indicators of durability, researchers reported.

Elixir Medical announced it received breakthrough device designation FDA for its novel adaptive implant for the treatment of narrowed or blocked below-the-knee vessels in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

Abiomed has issued a recall of the instructions for use for its left-sided blood pumps, as the pump catheter may perforate the wall of the left ventricle or cause free wall rupture, hypertension, lack of blood flow or death.

Among patients with acute decompensated heart failure, device-based thoracic duct decompression demonstrated the ability to reduce congestion safely, according to results of a first-in-human study.

Biotronik announced it was granted breakthrough device designation from the FDA its below-the-knee resorbable magnesium scaffold for the treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

The fifth generation of a balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement system was associated with lower rates of paravalvular leak and lower mean gradients compared with predecessor systems, researchers reported.
