Short DAPT Trial with SYNERGY™ BP Stent: Superior outcomes in Elderly Patients

SYNERGY™ showed superior outcomes compared to a bare metal stent in the treatment of elderly patients with short DAPT duration (1 month in stable patients and 6 months in patients with ACS). This is the result of the SENIOR Trial presented at TCT 2017, in which SYNERGY™ reported 0% def/prob ST after early DAPT discontinuation.
Watch Prof. O. Varenne discuss the outcomes of the trial.

WATCHMAN™ LAAC Device: New PREVAIL 5 Year Data from TCT and 5 Year Meta-Analysis results published in JACC

The 5 year combined data from PROTECT-AF and PREVAIL confirmed the safety and efficacy of WATCHMAN™ LAAC Device in stroke prevention. It offered comparable stroke risk reduction as well as statistically significant reductions in disabling and fatal stroke* (-55%), non-procedure related major bleeding (-52%), and mortality (-41% CV death) vs. warfarin after 5 years of follow-up¹.

TCT 2017:
FAME 2 Trial 3-year Outcome and
cost-effectiveness of FFR

Compared with best medical therapy alone, performing PCI in patients with stable CAD and at least one coronary lesion with an abnormal FFR leads to improved clinical outcome, less angina, and improved quality of life at similar cost over three years of follow-up. See the 3-year data from the FAME 2 Trial presented at TCT 2017.
