There are three major late-breaking trials presented this year at #EuroPCR (May 15, 8.30-10.00 AM CEST).

The first trial is called REC-CAGEFREE II. It is the first randomized study of antiplatelet monotherapy after PCI with drug-coated balloons. It will test a stepwise regimen consisting of aspirin plus ticagrelor for one month, followed by five months of ticagrelor monotherapy, and then aspirin monotherapy for six months in patients with ACS. The primary endpoint is a composite of ischemic and bleeding events at 12 months.

The second trial is called NOTION-2. It is a(nother) study comparing TAVI versus surgical aortic valve replacement (both arms will use any CE-marketed valve), but this time the study ispossiblymore controversial as the study enrolled younger low-risk patients than usual (75 years or less). The primary endpoint is a composite of all-cause mortality, stroke or rehospitalization. The reported follow-up will be short (12 months), so whatever happens... let's stay calm.

The third trial is called LANDMARK. It is a non-inferiority study of the balloon expandable Myval prosthesis (available with intermediate sizes) compared to other two contemporary transcatheter heart valves (Sapien and Evolut). The primary endpoint is a VARC-3 composite of safety and efficacy outcomes at 30 days.

For each trial, after the presentation, there will be a methodological appraisal (I will be handling NOTION-2 and LANDMARK) and a discussion on the possible impact of the study on clinical practice.

How a crazy idea led to a clinical revolution.

"To all those who believe that we as cardiologists can make a difference in our commitment to ideas, TAVI stands as an example of what such an idea can produce."

Rest in peace, Professor Cribier.

Limited evidence from randomized controlled trials exists comparing drug-coated balloons to the latest generation of drug-eluting stents for the treatment of patients with de novo coronary lesions. This debate examines the pros and cons of employing drug-coated balloons in this context.

Doing an annual 'Check-up' with your doctor is probably a sensible thing to do.

But this year, try something different.

Get a V02 Max Test done.

See where you stack up.

Train to improve it.

I suspect doing this will give you a lot more life years than a 'Check Up'.
