Phase 2a Clinical Trial of Mitochondrial Protection (Elamipretide) During Stent Revascularization in Patients With Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis [Peripheral Vascular Disease]
Conclusions— Adjunctive elamipretide during PTRA was associated with attenuated postprocedural hypoxia, increased RBF, and improved kidney function in this pilot trial. These data support a role for targeted mitochondrial protection to minimize procedure-associated ischemic injury and to improve outcomes of revascularization for human atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis.

Validation Study of Image-Based Fractional Flow Reserve During Coronary Angiography [Coronary Physiologic Assessment and Imaging]
Conclusions— There is a high concordance between FFRangio and invasive FFR. The color-coded display of FFR values during coronary angiography facilitates the integration of physiology and anatomy for decision making on revascularization in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

White Blood Cell Count and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in the Contemporary Era: Insights From the PARIS Study (Patterns of Non-Adherence to Anti-Platelet Regimens in Stented Patients Registry) [Coronary Interventions]
Conclusions— Increased WBC is an independent predictor of MACE after percutaneous coronary intervention in a contemporary all-comers cohort. Further studies to delineate the underlying pathophysiologic role of elevated WBC across a spectrum of coronary artery disease presentations are warranted.

Serial 5-Year Evaluation of Side Branches Jailed by Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds Using 3-Dimensional Optical Coherence Tomography: Insights From the ABSORB Cohort B Trial (A Clinical Evaluation of the Bioabsorbable Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in the Treatment of Patients With De Novo Native Coronary Artery Lesions) [Coronary Interventions]
Conclusions— This study showed that in most cases, the side branch ostial area free from struts initially decreased. However, with full scaffold bioresorption, the ostial area free from scaffold increased between 2 to 3 years and 5 years in the vast majority of patients.

Surgical and Catheter-Based Reinterventions Are Common in Long-Term Survivors of the Fontan Operation [Congenital Heart Disease]
Conclusions— In this study of Fontan survivors, two thirds of patients required surgical or catheter-based reintervention by 20 years. Families should be counseled that the Fontan is typically not the final stage of single-ventricle palliation. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions)
