Part 1 | Session 1 The CLEAR-Outcomes Trial with Dr Harriette Van Spall & Dr Steven Nissen
ACC.23/WCC — Late-breaker host, Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, CA) is joined by principle investigator, Dr Divaka Perera (King’s College London & Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital, UK) and investigator, Dr Peter O'Kane (Royal Bournemouth Hospital, UK) to discuss the REVIVED-BCIS2 viability analysis (NCT01920048).
This analysis of the REVIVED-BICS2 trial found that viability characterisation does not impact the effect of PCI on prognosis or LV recovery in ischaemic cardiomyopathy, compared to optimised guideline therapy (OMT) alone. The study also showed that scar burden can predict prognosis and likelihood of LV recovery in ischaemic cardiomyopathy independent of baseline LVEF or extent of CAD.
Recorded remotely from Hamilton, London and Dorset, 2023.
Our regular review series View from the Thoraxcenter, hosted by Prof Nicolas Van Mieghem and Dr Joost Daemen (Thoraxcentre, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, NL) provides a critical analysis of the late-breaking and featured science results and spotlights impactful data.
For a deeper look into the key clinical trial data revealed at ACC 23, Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, Hamilton, CA) interviews the principal investigators in her regular Late-Breaker Discussion Series.
For short, concise coverage of the key data revealed, our accessible Expert Interviews were conducted with select faculty, focussing on the results, applicability and impact on future research.
