In memoriam, Professor Alain Cribier, 1945-2024: the heart of medicine
Hélène Eltchaninoff
Alain Cribier, an interventional cardiologist, developed the techniques of balloon aortic valvuloplasty and transcatheter aortic valve implantation, which have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis.

Valve performance of SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA
Masanori Yamamoto, Kentaro Hayashida et al.
This study compared the clinical outcomes and valve performance of the latest-generation SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA (S3UR) valve to the previous-generation SAPIEN 3 (S3) valve in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The S3UR showed lower rates of paravalvular leakage and patient-prosthesis mismatch.

Primary results of the DECISION QFR RCT
Taku Asano, Hitoshi Matsuo et al.
The FAVOR III Europe Japan trial aims to randomize 2000 patients to either a QFR-guided or FFR-guided strategy to evaluate whether QFR yields non-inferior 12-month clinical outcomes compared to FFR for intermediate coronary stenosis.

Combining QFR and SYNTAX Score II 2020 for decision making
Patrick W. Serruys, Pruthvi C. Revaiah
The content discusses the importance of a multidisciplinary Heart Team approach in decision-making between CABG and PCI for complex coronary artery disease, and the potential use of QFR parameters in predicting clinical outcomes.

Women and coronary artery disease: not just underrepresented and underdiagnosed, but also undertreated!
Roxana Mehran, Mauro Gitto
The article highlights the underrepresentation of women in cardiovascular clinical trials and the undertreatment of women with coronary artery disease in real-world practice, emphasizing the need for innovative strategies to include more women in trials and tailor management approaches.

Outcomes by sex in the ISCHEMIA trial
Mario Gaudino, Bjorn Redfors et al.
In the ISCHEMIA trial, women with stable coronary artery disease were less likely to undergo revascularization than men, but the effect of an invasive versus conservative management strategy was similar between sexes.

AI-assisted decision-making for severe AS
Adil Salihu et al.
This study evaluated the ability of ChatGPT-4, a large language model, to assist in the decision-making process of Multidisciplinary Heart Teams for the management of severe aortic stenosis, finding a 77% agreement rate with the Heart Team's decisions.

Transcaval VA-ECMO
Gennaro Giustino, Pedro A. Villablanca et al.
This study reports the outcomes of 22 patients with refractory cardiogenic shock who underwent transcaval venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, with a 54.6% in-hospital mortality rate and a high incidence of vascular and bleeding complications.

Can artificial intelligence help Heart Teams make decisions?
Valentin Koch
A study examines the use of ChatGPT in augmenting the decision-making processes of Heart Teams in the treatment of severe aortic stenosis, suggesting a high degree of alignment between the language model and the multidisciplinary teams.

The miracle of left ventricular recovery after transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Harold L. Dauerman, Rony Lahoud et al.
This study examined the outcomes of 914 patients with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (≤30%) who underwent TAVI, finding that prior myocardial infarction, reduced kidney function, and low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis were associated with higher mortality.

Timing of revascularisation in acute coronary syndromes with multivessel disease – two sides of the same coin
Barbara E. Stähli, Julia Stehli et al.
This substudy of the BIOVASC trial suggests that immediate multivessel PCI is an effective and safe strategy for ACS patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, including complex three-vessel disease.

FAITAVI trial design
Flavio Ribichini, Giuseppe Tarantini et al.
FAITAVI is a randomized trial comparing angiography-guided versus physiology-guided coronary revascularization in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis and coronary artery disease undergoing TAVI.
