Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is a widely used rhythm-control strategy, yet its role in reducing thromboembolic risk and enabling oral anticoagulation (OAC) discontinuation remains uncertain. This meta-analysis aims to comprehensively synthesize and evaluate randomized controlled trial evidence supporting long-term antithrombotic strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter ablation.

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a frequent congenital heart defect with a high heritability. Despite this, only a limited number of genes have been associated with the disease, and the molecular mechanisms remain unexplained in most cases. This study aimed to further understand the genetic architecture of BAV.

Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are now a Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment option for the management of in-stent restenosis (ISR) based on superior outcomes compared with plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) alone. However, the efficacy of DCB compared with drug-eluting stent (DES; repeat stenting) for ISR is uncertain, with prior studies showing inferiority of DCB. We aimed to compare the outcomes of DES, DCB, or POBA in patients with coronary ISR.

It remains unclear whether drug-coated balloons (DCBs) and drug-eluting stents are comparable in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) and whether limus versus paclitaxel DCBs yield similar clinical outcomes. We aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of limus and paclitaxel DCBs in patients with CAD through a network meta-analysis.

There is a paucity of data regarding the longer-term durability of transcatheter heart valves. This analysis aimed to describe the 5-year clinical outcomes and valve durability for patients treated with the Portico transcatheter heart valves across 3 studies harmonized in their prospective enrollment, inclusion/exclusion criteria, centralized independent core laboratory echocardiographic analysis, and independent clinical events committee adjudication.

Evidence informing clinical guidelines assumes that all transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) devices have similar effectiveness, in other words, displaying a class effect across TAVI valves. We aimed to assess the comparative effectiveness of different TAVI platforms relative to other TAVI counterparts or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

Female patients are at greater risk of adverse events following non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome but less frequently receive guideline-recommended coronary angiography and revascularization. Routine invasive management benefits high-risk patients, but evidence informing the optimal timing of angiography specifically in female patients is lacking.

Pathogenic/likely pathogenic (LP) desmin (DES) variants cause heterogeneous cardiomyopathy and skeletal myopathy phenotypes. Limited data suggest a high incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including cardiac conduction disease, sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VA), and heart failure (HF) events (HF hospitalization, left ventricular assist device/cardiac transplant, HF-related death) in patients with pathogenic/LP DES variants. However, pleiotropic presentation and small cohort sizes have limited clinical phenotype and outcome characterization. We aimed to describe the natural history, phenotype spectrum, familial penetrance and outcomes in patients with pathogenic/LP DES variants through a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis using published reports.

Current clinical guidelines emphasize the significance of rhythm control with catheter ablation but lack guidance on the timing of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation relative to the diagnosis time. We aim to investigate the latest evidence on the impact of diagnosis to ablation time (DAT) on clinical outcomes after AF ablation.
