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.
JACC Executive Associate Editor Karthik Murugiah, MD, FACC, speaks with author Jasmine M. Marquard, MD, PhD, on her study published in JACC and presented at EuroPCR. The discussion focuses on 10-year outcomes, including repeated events, of fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided complete revascularization versus treatment of the infarct-related artery only in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. As the original trial, the primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction, or any revascularization. Complete revascularization reduced the risk of the primary outcome by 24%. Complete re-vascularization showed an absolute reduction of 13 events (-1 to 28 events) per 100 persons after 10 years. FFR-guided complete revascularization reduced future and repeated events after 10 years, primarily by reducing revascularization rates, without reducing myocardial infarctions or death.

The Beat episode, hosted by Patrick Myers, cardiac surgeon at the University of Lausanne and Geneva, Switzerland, focuses on three recent publications, presented at the ACC21 and EuroPCR meetings. First, Dr Myers discusses the LAAOS III trial, a practice-changing multicenter prospective randomized trial of left atrial appendage occlusion during cardiac surgery. He then dives into a meta-analysis comparing revascularization and medical treatment, covering 20'000 patients from 25 RCTs. Dr Myers then reviews a UK study on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on SAVR and TAVI volumes. He finally notes to not miss the guest editor series lead by Mark Gerdish, on surgery for atrial fibrillation.

Douglas Drachman recaps his top takeaways from ACC 2021, and host Shelley Wood offers some highlights from EuroPCR.
Dr. Eliano Navarese, of Nicolaus Copernicus University, Poland, discusses the results of a meta-analysis comparing coronary revascularization vs. medical therapy alone. The study, presented as a late-breaking trial at EuroPCR 2021, showed that the benefits of both approaches are additive and that their combination is needed to attain maximal and lasting prevention of adverse events.
Dr. Bo Xu, of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, discusses the results of the FUTURE-II trial with Dr. Ron Waksman. The study, presented as a late-breaking trial at EuroPCR 2021, showed comparable safety and efficacy between the thin-strut Chinese Firesorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold and the cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting Xience stents
Dr. Marko Noc, of University Medical Center in Slovenia, discusses the results of the COOL AMI EU pivotal trial with Dr. Ron Waksman. The study, presented as a late-breaking trial at EuroPCR 2021, found longer randomization-to-balloon time and longer total ischemic time, as well as high rates of new-onset paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, for patients who received a therapeutic hypothermia device, the ZOLL Proteus Intra Vascular Temperature Management System, in patients presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction as compared to patients who did not receive the device.
Dr. David Hildick-Smith, of the Sussex Cardiac Centre, UK, discusses the results of the EBC MAIN study with Dr. Ron Waksman. The study, presented as a late-breaking trial at EuroPCR 2021, suggests no difference in 1-year clinical outcomes of a planned single-stent versus upfront two-stent strategy for true bifurcation distal left main disease.

Transcatheter aortic valves delivered better hemodynamic valve performance and less structural valve deterioration than surgical valves over 6 years. Transcatheter aortic valves outlast surgical valves in the NOTION study presented at EuroPCR. From Heart Rhythm 2018, a registry study suggests myocarditis is the culprit in many cases of frequent premature ventricular contractions, and one set of Botox shots into intracardiac fat pads cut atrial fibrillation for up to 3 years. Also this week, many patients with NAFLD and abnormal alanine aminotransferase should be taking a statin but aren’t, and why statins reduce the risk of lethal prostate cancer.
