EARLY TAVR Breaks New Ground for Preemptive Treatment of Asymptomatic AS (UPDATED) While discussions about the lack of a mortality effect will continue, some say the findings may be enough to change guidelines.

Big news in #CardioSky. Too bad none of those quoted are out here yet! Someone spread the word to Philippe Genereux, Gilbert Tang, Josep Rodes-Cabau, Bernard Prendergast and Tsuyoshi Kaneko that this is where the action is!! www.tctmd.com/news/early-t... By @lamckeown1.bsky.social #TCT24

Fellows Forum: Is It Safe to Allow Fellows Perform Complex PCI? New research affirms that fellows should not be "shunned" from the opportunity of learning to take the lead on these cases.

At #TCT24, I covered Majd Protty's research looking at the safety of complex PCI when fellows were in the lead operator position. We also filmed a segment in the studio with Kevin Croce for @tctmd.bsky.social's #FellowsForum. Enjoy! #CardioSky
