In the latest JACC offering from EuroPCR, JACC Associate Editor Celina M. Yong, MD, FACC, interviews Dr. Ashkan Eftekhari, PhD, to discuss insights into his study, Biolimus-Eluting Biomatrix Stent Versus a Dual-Therapy Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in PCI: SORT OUT XI Randomized Trial. The biolimus A9-eluting BioMatrix Alpha stent (BES), has not been compared with another contemporary drug eluting stent. This study compared one-year target lesion failure (TLF) in BES versus the dual-therapy sirolimus-eluting Combo stent (DTS) in an all-comer population undergoing PCI. A total of 3,136 patients were randomized 1:1 to either BES or DTS. The primary result showed that BES was non-inferior to DTS. Additionally, there was a significantly higher rate of definite stent thrombosis in the BES arm. In conclusion, BES was non-inferior to DTS at one-year follow-up with respect to the primary endpoint, TLF.

Like millions of other people during the pandemic, I discovered the Netflix series 'Drive To Survive' and became obsessed. I knew almost nothing about Formula One besides the content that I'd occasionally see covered on Sports Center back in the day. But DTS brought me back in. It's not even the racing that really revs my engine. I'm more interested in the behind the scenes drama. Who is going to drive with who, and which teams are in trouble. All of that is covered in DTS and immediately made me a Formula One fan.This week's conversation is with Luke Smith, the senior Formula One correspondent for Formula One. He just published a book filled with his own personal stories called 'On The Grid: Live Behind The Scenes Of Formula One.' We had a great chat about the sport, it's growing popularity, Smith's own driving record and why he thinks DTS is responsible for him still having a job.To find more from Luke, you can check out his posts HERE

Today, we're diving deep into the nitty-gritty of what makes a financial planner the "real deal." Our special series guest, Jeff Chase, VP of Financial Planning and Senior Wealth Manager at S.E.E.D. Planning Group is back with us, and together we're about to drop some insights that'll help you see through all the shiny sales pitches out there. We're breaking down the art of financial planning and why it's not just about throwing money at investments and calling it a day. Instead, it's about crafting a tailored strategy that considers everything from taxes to healthcare, ensuring your financial future isn't left to chance. If you're tired of cookie-cutter advice and pushy sales professionals and want to understand how to get the most out of your money, stick around because this episode is packed with insights that could change your financial game!Takeaways:In financial planning, knowing your goals is key; without it, you're just guessing. A solid financial plan should dictate your investments, not the other way around, folks. Meeting with clients regularly is essential; it's not just about selling products, it's about relationships. Solo practitioners in finance face unique risks, so having a team can be a game changer for clients. Understanding risk is crucial; sometimes being conservative can protect you better than chasing high returns. Navigating the world of financial products requires a keen eye to avoid unnecessary fees and pitfalls. About JeffJeff is the Senior Vice President of Financial Planning at S.E.E.D.
