Both trials were presented in a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial session at ACC.26 in New Orleans. 1774885860000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/03/25/21/27/mon-1045am-dkcrush-acc-2026 When using the two-stent double-kissing (DK) crush technique for PCI to treat complex coronary artery bifurcation lesions, IVUS-guided PCI was associated with a greater reduction in target vessel failure compared to angiography-guided PCI, according to the DKCRUSH VIII trial presented during a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial session at ACC.26 in New Orleans and simultaneously published in JACC. 1774885560000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/03/25/21/27/sun-830am-allrise-acc-2026 FFRangio, a minimally invasive, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted, novel method of measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR), performed similarly to traditional wire-based testing in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing assessment for PCI, according to results from the ALL-RISE trial presented during a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial session at ACC.26 in New Orleans and simultaneously published in NEJM. 1774791240000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/03/25/21/27/sun-830am-chip-bcis3-acc-2026 Among patients with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and severe coronary heart disease undergoing complex PCI, elective LV unloading with a microaxial flow pump did not reduce the risk of major adverse clinical outcomes and carried a greater risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality... 1774791180000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/03/25/21/27/sun-830am-fastIII-acc-2026 Vessel fractional flow reserve (vFFR)-guided revascularization was noninferior to pressure-wire-based fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided revascularization in patients with intermediate coronary lesions, according to results from the FAST III trial presented during a Late-Breaking Clinical Trials session... 1774791180000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/02/11/18/58/COACT-5 At five years, survival was comparable between immediate and delayed angiography with no clinical benefit or harm in patients without ST-segment elevation resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), according to new results from the randomized COACT trial published Feb. 4 in JACC. 1770840780000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/02/11/18/58/Substantial-Hospital-Level-Variation-in-Immediate-Coronary-Angiography-Among-Patients-With-STEMI-and-OHCA-NCDR-Study Among patients presenting with both out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and STEMI, substantial hospital-level variation was found in providing immediate coronary angiography (CA), according to a Brief Report published Feb. 11 in JACC. 1770836700000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/01/22/18/26/Can-Patient-Specific-Registration Patient-specific registration of segmental jeopardy and viability is a feasible strategy to identify patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) who benefit from early revascularization, according to a recent study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. 1769454840000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/01/07/14/20/New-PAD-Performance-and-Quality-Measures-Released New 2026 ACC/AHA Clinical Performance and Quality Measures for Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), released in collaboration with nine other specialty societies, offer a comprehensive framework to assess and elevate PAD care across clinical settings. 1767898800000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2025/12/01/01/New-in-Clinical-Guidance-Key-Points The following are key points from the 2025 ACC/AHA/ASE/ASNC/SCCT/SCMR Advanced Training Statement on Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging: A Report of the ACC Competency Management Committee... 1765225800000 Articles and Stories
