With a small balloon catheter, an extraordinary vision and the courage to challenge what was then considered possible, he opened a new chapter in the treatment of coronary artery disease. 1789654080000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/09/14/16/12/SirPAD-Redefines-Drug-Coated-Balloon-Therapy-in-PAD Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects >113 million people worldwide and remains a major cause of limb loss, cardiovascular morbidity, and cardiovascular mortality. 1789409820000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/08/29/08/48/mon-730am-corcal-evaold-isoleds-esc-2026 Cardiovascular prevention, acute care and interventional cardiology converged in a wide-ranging Hot Line Session at ESC Congress 2026 that delivered new evidence on how clinicians assess risk, treat older heart attack patients and guide complex coronary procedures. 1788177780000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/08/24/12/30/sat-jacc-journals-esc-2026 Several abstracts and e-posters presented at ESC Congress 2026 and simultaneously published across the JACC family of journals highlight the expanding role of precision medicine, novel therapeutics, and advanced risk stratification across cardiovascular care. 1788002340000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/08/24/12/30/sat-jacc-studies-esc-2026 Three late-breaking science studies presented during ESC Congress 2026 provide new insights into the use of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) fractional flow reserve (FFRct) to guide patient selection for invasive coronary angiography (ICA), the use of automated deep learning-quantified total plaque volume (TPV) to improve prediction of first coronary events, and the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Each study was simultaneously published in JACC Journals. 1787991780000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/08/10/15/19/FFR-in-Focus Two studies recently published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions provide fresh insights into coronary physiology, suggesting that angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) may be a practical alternative to wire-based FFR, while highlighting the prognostic significance of definite discordance between FFR and nonhyperemic pressure ratios (NHPR). 1786468140000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/07/29/13/18/eagles-eye-view-29jul2026 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at a post-hoc analysis of the API-CAT trial that showed recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) is uncommon but associated with poor short-term survival of patients with cancer-associated thrombosis. 1785331140000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Journal-Scans/2026/07/22/17/25/DAPT-MVD Extending DAPT for an additional year reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) without increasing bleeding risk compared with aspirin alone among patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD) who had no ischemic or bleeding events one year after PCI with a drug-eluting stent, according to results of the DAPT-MVD trial published July 15 in NEJM. 1784749860000 Articles and Stories /Latest-in-Cardiology/Articles/2026/06/08/10/20/Optimizing-Dual-Antiplatelet-Therapy The TUXEDO-2 (Ultrathin Strut vs. Xience in a Diabetic Population With Multivessel Disease 2—India Study) trial demonstrated that among patients with diabetes mellitus and multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)... 1781024040000 Articles and Stories
