The Avinger Pantheris atherectomy device, which incorporates OCT intravascular imaging.

Due to poor outcomes from percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) ballooning of vessels alone, or of stenting in peripheral vessels, atherectomy has been adopted as a new therapy to improve treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Sapien III, Sapien 3, PARTNER III, FDA approval, expanded indication, intermediate risk patients

August 18, 2016 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded the indications for both the Edwards Lifesciences’ Sapien 3 and Sapien XT transcatheter heart valves for the treatment of patients suffering from severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who have been determined by a heart team to be at intermediate risk for open-heart surgery. The Sapien valve is the first transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) therapy to obtain this indication in the United States.

The U.S. healthcare industry has failed to create and sustain an efficient network for storing and sharing patient medical data, but a new proposed strategy could make the process easier and more affordable.

August 16, 2016 — New research from a fluid mechanics team in Greece reveals how blood flow dynamics within blood vessels may influence where plaques develop or rupture. The findings could one day help doctors identify weak spots on a vessel wall that are likeliest to fail, and lead to early interventions in treating heart disease. The study was published this week in Physics of Fluids.
