Privately-held company Arterial Remodeling Technologies (ART) announced CE Mark clearance for its next-generation drug-free, pure bioresorbable scaffold used to treat coronary artery disease. The CE Mark was achieved following the completion of extensive pre-clinical research — this included up to three-years of follow-up, and supportive clinical results from leading coronary angioplasty centres such as the Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou in Paris and investigators such as Jean Fajadet, M.D., at the Clinique Pasteur in Toulouse.

Edwards Lifesciences Corp. announced that 30-day outcomes for intermediate-risk patients treated transfemorally with the SAPIEN 3 transcatheter aortic valve demonstrated very low mortality and stroke rates, and no severe paravalvular leaks. These independently adjudicated data from centers in Europe and Canada are consistent with the outcomes recently reported in a similar study of 1,000 patients treated at 51 centers in the United States. The study was presented at EuroPCR 2015 by Alec Vahanian, M.D., chair of the cardiology department at Bichat University Hospital, Paris.

According to a new study, small changes in quality improvement procedures enabled clinicians to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to diagnose stroke patients before giving acute treatment, within 60 minutes of arrival. MRI scans provide detailed images but take longer to complete than computed tomography (CT) scans, which are commonly used in most centers.

The cost of bringing innovative new cardiovascular technology to the U.S. market today is staggering, numbering in the tens of millions up to $1 billion. Many in the medical device and drug industries see this as a major barrier to developing new therapies. The majority of this cost is in the preclinical animal testing stage and the human clinical trials required to gain regulatory clearance. New technologies may very soon offer a way to greatly decrease these costs. In addition, these technologies may be able to identify which drugs or device therapies will be effective in humans before spending millions in potentially dead-end research.
