Multicenter StudyThe SAVI-TF Registry: 1-Year Outcomes of the European Post-Market Registry Using the ACURATE neo Transcatheter Heart Valve Under Real-World Conditions in 1,000 Patients.
The SAVI-TF (Symetis ACURATE neo Valve Implantation Using Transfemoral Access) registry was initiated to study the ACURATE neo transcatheter heart valve in a large patient population treated under real-world conditions. ⋯ Transfemoral implantation of the ACURATE neo prosthesis resulted in favorable 1-year clinical and echocardiographic outcomes with very low mortality and new pacemaker rates.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyOutcomes After Coronary Stenting or Bypass Surgery for Men and Women With Unprotected Left Main Disease: The EXCEL Trial.
The aim of the present study was to assess outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) according to sex in a large randomized trial of patients with unprotected left main disease. ⋯ In patients with unprotected left main disease in the EXCEL trial, sex was not an independent predictor of adverse outcomes after revascularization. However, women undergoing PCI had a trend toward worse outcomes, a finding related to associated comorbidities and increased periprocedural complications. Further studies are required to determine the optimal revascularization modality in women with complex coronary artery disease.
