Coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery is the standard treatment for revascularization in patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease, but use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for this indication is increasing. Findings from the Nordic–Baltic–British Left Main Revascularization Study (NOBLE) trial found that despite similar mortality, the five-year risk of major adverse events was higher after PCI compared to CABG for the treatment of unprotected LMCA disease.

St. Jude Medical Inc. announced the long-term data from RESPECT, a landmark trial, during a First Report session at the 2016 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference in Washington, D.C.
Investigators recently unveiled clinical data from the independent BIO-RESORT study, representing the first all-comers analysis to compare the safety and efficacy of biodegradable polymer stents (BP-DES) to the durable polymer Resolute Integrity drug-eluting stent (DP-DES) from Medtronic. At one year, patients with coronary artery disease who were treated with a biodegradable polymer stent showed no clinical benefits over patients treated with Resolute Integrity.
Medtronic plc recently announced new clinical data for the Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) from its early feasibility study, showing improved hemodynamics from baseline and consistent valve performance at one year. Presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, the positive new data from the first-of-its-kind early feasibility study led the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to also recently approve the initiation of a Pivotal Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study to evaluate the valve’s safety and effectiveness.
