BIOFLOW-DAPT one-year-data demonstrated non-inferiority and a good safety profile for the Orsiro ® Mission drug-eluting stent (DES) compared to Resolute Onyx DES (p<0.0001) in patients at high risk of bleeding receiving short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Prof. Marco Valgimigli presented the novel data in a late-breaking trial session at the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) Congress in Amsterdam. The results were published simultaneously in Circulation. BIOFLOW-DAPT is a prospective, multi-center, international, two-arm randomized controlled clinical study to assess the safety of one

The first implant in Europe of BIOTRONIK’s latest pacemaker and CRT-P generation was conducted in early August by Prof. Dr. Jan De Pooter at the University Hospital Ghent in Belgium. The patient who received an Amvia Sky dual chamber pacemaker device was a 68-year-old man suffering from paroxysmal AV-block strongly limiting his physical efforts. “The implantation went on straightforward and very smoothly,” commented Prof. De Pooter after the procedure. “LBBAP enables pacing in a very natural, physiological way, benefiting the patient by offering physiological pacing and minimizing the risk for

The TIMELY consortium announced today the enrollment of the first patient in the randomized controlled clinical TIMELY trial. The TIMELY study investigates to what extent the AI-supported TIMELY platform improves the health of myocardial infarction (MI) patients and other patients with coronary heart disease after cardiac rehabilitation. Around 1.8 million people in the European Union die each year from coronary heart disease. 1 To prevent reinfarctions, patients receive cardiac rehabilitation to support necessary changes in lifestyle habits, such as diet and increased physical activity
