- Access to atrial flow regulators for implantation in critically ill children via the US Food and Drug Administration's emergency use pathway. [Journal Article]J Invasive Cardiol. 2026 Jul 28. [Online ahead of print]JI
- CONCLUSIONS: The Occlutech AFR may provide an important therapeutic option for critically ill children with congenital heart disease. The EUA pathway can facilitate timely access to unapproved but potentially beneficial technologies when no satisfactory approved alternatives exist.

- Early discontinuation of antithrombotic therapy following left atrial appendage closure: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [Journal Article]J Invasive Cardiol. 2026 Jul 29. [Online ahead of print]JI
- CONCLUSIONS: Among high-bleeding-risk patients undergoing LAAC, early complete discontinuation of AT was not associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events or death during mid-term follow-up. These results support the potential ischemic safety of early antithrombotic cessation in carefully selected patients and highlight the need for definite evidence from randomized trials.

- STENTYS Xposition S in the treatment of chronic total artery occlusion (SXS-CTO trial). [Journal Article]J Invasive Cardiol. 2026 Jul 23. [Online ahead of print]JI
- CONCLUSIONS: SE-DES were associated with a statistically significant reduction in strut malapposition compared with BE-DES. However, the absolute malapposition burden was very low in both groups, making the clinical relevance of this imaging finding uncertain. These findings emphasize the importance of individualized stent selection and systematic intracoronary imaging in complex PCI.

- Diagnostic performance of angiography-derived coronary physiology in transcatheter aortic valve implantation pathway: a systematic review and diagnostic accuracy meta-analysis. [Journal Article]J Invasive Cardiol. 2026 Jul 10. [Online ahead of print]JI
- CONCLUSIONS: Angiography-derived coronary physiology demonstrates good diagnostic performance in patients undergoing TAVI evaluation, with comparable overall discrimination when referenced to both pre- and post-TAVI FFR, although interpretation is limited by the absence of a stable reference standard across hemodynamic states.

- CONCLUSIONS: Upfront use of a large-size RA burr is feasible and safe for treating calcified LM disease, with no increase in procedural complications, repeat TLR, or medium-term all-cause mortality.
