SCAI 2021 late-breaking presentations included the data on the Medtronic Harmony transcatheter pulmonary valve, cutting radial access hemostasis time by 50 percent, improving cardiogenic shock survival to 71 percent, and data showing very high mortality in COVID patients who suffer a STEMI.
April 29, 2021 — Here is the list of late-breaking study presentations and links to articles about each of them from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 2021 Scientific Sessions Virtual Conference, which took place April 28 - May 1. Sessions share the latest advances in interventional cardiology and featured late-breaking clinical research.
