Cath Lab

The catheterization lab channel includes content related to interventional technologies for coronary and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Other cath lab transcatheter device technologies covered on this page included percutaneous treatment for stroke, venous interventions, heart valves, hypertension, heart failure and percutenous coronary interventions (PCI).

Some of the top technology news from ACC 2021. Top left, the LAAOS III trial showed benefit when surgeons seal off the LAA during other open heart procedures. Bottom left, the ReCor Paradise renal denervation system helped lower blood pressure in patients who did not respond to medication. Top right, for patients with both heart failure and AFib it makes no differences is therapy is focused on controlling the heart rhythm or heart rate. Bottom right, the FLOWER-MI trial found no benefit to FFR-guided PCI.

The Record Paradise RDN catheter uses a balloon catheter filled with water to cool the vessel wall as ultrasound-based ablation energy is delivered. It delivers a ring of ablative energy to a depth of 1-6 mm. Kirtane said it requires 2-3 sonications lasting 7 seconds each in each of the main renal arteries. #ACC21 #ACC2021 #RDN
