The late-breaking clinical trials at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2015 annual meeting will include the latest data on outcomes for transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR), transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMRV), the use of computed tomography (CT) angiography to evaluate chest pain, first report on the use of TAVR embolic protection, denervation for pulmonary arterial hypertension, new antiplatelet/anticoagulation therapies and outcomes with drug-eluting stents versus bypass surgery.
ACC.15 will include five late-breaking clinical trial sessions and two featured clinical research sessions. There will be a late-breaking clinical trial deep dive session, where attendees can find out what it all means.
