A Meta‐Analysis and Simplified Nomenclature for Diagonal Coronary Artery and Ramus Intermedius Across Adult and Pediatric Hearts

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomical descriptions of left‐sided oblique coronary branches remain inconsistent, hindering imaging interpretation and surgical planning. To quantify the prevalence, branching patterns and morphometry of the ramus intermedius (RI) and diagonal branches, and propose a unified nomenclature.

Three‐Year Outcome of Drug Coated Balloon Angioplasty Following Atherectomy for Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We aimed to compare the long‐term efficacy and safety of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) and drug‐eluting stent (DES) following atherectomy for coronary arteries with severely calcified lesions. Of the 258 consecutive patients and 422 de novo lesions treated with DCB at Kanazawa Medical University Hospital, we retrospectively enrolled highly ...

The Prognostic Value of Troponin in Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Troponin elevation is increasingly used for risk stratification, but its prognostic utility remains variably reported across studies. To evaluate the prognostic value of troponin elevation in patients with acute PE, concerning short‐term mortality and ...

VERMONT: Vessel Fractional Flow Reserve (vFFR) Assessment of Stenosis Severity: A Prospective Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Vessel fractional flow reserve (vFFR) is an angiogram‐based technique validated in early studies; however, data on its real‐time diagnostic performance and integration into routine workflow remain limited. Aims The VERMONT study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and time efficiency of real‐time vFFR versus conventional wire‐based ...

Clinical Trials With Pragmatic Elements: A Review of Use Cases and Real‐World Data Utilization

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Clinical trials with pragmatic elements can capture diverse patient populations, enable efficient follow‐up, and reflect routine clinical practices; yet there is limited understanding of their design features, characteristics, and use of real‐world data (RWD). Based on a targeted search of PubMed/EMBASE (Jan‐2016 to Jul‐2024), a review was conducted to
