This study compared two different artificial heart valves (Sapien and Myval) used in a procedure called TAVI to replace a narrowed aortic valve. Over 1,000 patients were randomly assigned to receive one of the two valves. The goal was to see which valve led to fewer major heart p…

This study looked at a 'hybrid' approach for people with severe coronary artery disease, combining bypass surgery for the main heart artery with a stent procedure for other blocked arteries. Researchers tracked 2000 patients to see if this combined treatment reduced the risk of d…

This study looked at the best way to use drug-eluting stents (tiny mesh tubes that release medication) in patients with coronary artery disease where the blockage is at a fork (bifurcation). 413 patients were randomly assigned to get stents in both branches of the fork or only in…

This study tested two ways to place stents in heart arteries that have a branch (bifurcation). 425 patients with chest pain were randomly assigned to either the 'crush' or 'culotte' technique. Researchers tracked heart-related deaths, heart attacks, stent clots, and the need for …

This study tested a special stent made of magnesium that slowly dissolves in the body. The stent releases a drug to prevent scarring and was used in 20 patients with complex blockages where arteries branch. The goal was to see if it is safe and works well for these tricky cases.

This study tested whether a device called FemoSeal is safer and more comfortable than pressing on the groin by hand after a heart artery imaging test. About 1,000 adults having the test through the groin took part. The main goal was to see if the device led to fewer large bruises…
