The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions released a position statement identifying appropriate patients to undergo PCI in an ASC and advising on requirements for starting a PCI program in an ASC.

A single-center study reported at the virtual Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions Scientific Sessions showed no significant difference in adverse events with standard fasting compared with unrestricted oral intake.

Among patients who underwent PCI with a drug-eluting stent and were prescribed dual antiplatelet therapy for 3 months, subsequent ticagrelor monotherapy reduced bleeding risk compared with continued DAPT regardless of DES type, according to results from the TWILIGHT-SYNERGY study.

At 2 years following transcatheter aortic valve replacement, nonagenarians experienced no greater risk for mortality or stroke than younger patients, despite being at greater surgical risk, researchers reported.
