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/Articles/2026/03/24/18/15/ALARA The ACC has joined the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) and seven other medical societies in calling for fluoroscopy laboratories to implement an enhanced safety framework: ALARA+ or "As Low and As Light as Reasonably Achievable." 1774376340000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/03/12/18/50/dancavas Severe aortic and iliac calcification was associated with a significantly higher risk of major adverse limb events (MALEs) and aortic events, according to a prospective cohort study from the DANCAVAS trials published March 2 in Circulation. These results suggest that quantifying aortic calcification may provide valuable prognostic information and improve the risk stratification in patients with peripheral artery disease or aortic aneurysm. 1773343260000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/03/09/15/44/Emerging-Trends-in-Multimodality-Cardiovascular-Imaging-at-AHA25 The American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2025 (AHA25) highlighted how quickly cardiovascular (CV) imaging is shifting toward integrated, biology-centered care. 1773077700000 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
