Part 3

View from the Thoraxcenter

In these concise episodes of View from the Thoraxcenter, Prof Nicolas Van Mieghem and Dr Joost Daemen (Thoraxcentre, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, NL) offer their thoughts on the top late-breaking trials that will be presented at ACC 2023. 

About the episode

ACC.23/WCC – Late-Breaker host, Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, CA) is joined by principal investigator, Dr Roberto Diletti (Thoraxcenter, Erasmus Medical Center, NL) to explore the findings of the BIOVASC Trial (NCT03621501). 

The primary objective of the BIOVASC Trial was to investigate whether an immediate complete revascularization is non inferior to a staged complete revascularization strategy.

The trial results presented at ACC.23 showed that in ACS patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, an immediate complete revascularization strategy was non inferior to a staged complete revascularization for the composite primary outcome and was associated with lower rates of myocardial infarction and unplanned ischaemia driven revascularization at one-year follow-up.

Recorded on site at ACC 2023, New Orleans.
