A long-waited PREVENT trial is now presented at LBCT-V #ACC2024
🇰🇷From the inception of trial to completion of trial took a decade.
✅1,606 pts with intracoronary imaging-detected “Vulnerable Plaque” randomized 1:1 to (1) Preventive PCI vs (2) OMT alone.
✅Prevent PCI significantly reduce primary composite endpoint (CV death, TV-MI, TVR, hospitalization for UA) at 2 yr. The effect of Preventive PCI was sustained up to 7 years.
✅First RCT shows that Preventive PCI is effective for non-flow limiting vulnerable atherosclerosis coronary plaque.
✅We believe that PREVENT would be one of the seminal investigations in the history of PCI.

Message on behalf of the EuroPCR Course Directors:
As we reflect upon the passing of Alain Cribier, we think back to the #EuroPCR 2022 Welcome Ceremony, where we were fortunate to have him on stage to celebrate the incredible achievement of 20 years of #TAVI https://t.co/6Lc3bIlj0p
But beyond TAVI, beyond so many of his other achievements, what we will also remember is his passion for education and for transmission to the next generation of physicians, in the spirit of a true Companion.
Our thoughts go out to his family, loved ones and colleagues at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
I’m really sad to see this @BBCNews article, which does the doctors strike next week a huge disservice.
Ignore junior doctors and our whole service falls apart. If you want world class doctors, you need to pay them their due. Don’t, and they’ll leave.

Very excited to have competed the first renal denervation procedure at QA Portsmouth using the Medtronic system for resistant hypertension. A labour of love for the last 4+ years to get this underway! Great to be recruiting to the GSR define registry. @PHUresearch@PHU_NHS
So proud to host Point-of-care ultrasound workshops as a lead organizer in our Portsmouth University Hospitals NHS for our Wessex trainees. Special thanks to our trainers , organizer team, models and GE healthcare for their hardwork for the Wessex region !
