Article Abstract
The field of interventional cardiology (IC) has evolved dramatically over the past 40 years. Training and certification in IC have kept pace, with the development of accredited IC fellowship training programs, training statements, and subspecialty board certification. The application process, however, remained fragmented with lack of a universal process or time frame. In recent years, growing competition among training programs for the strongest candidates resulted in time-limited offers and high-pressure situations that disadvantaged candidates. A grassroots effort was recently undertaken by a Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions task force, to create equity in the system by establishing a national Match for IC fellowship. This manuscript explores the rationale, process, and implications of this endeavor.

Objectives: Failure of vascular closure device (VCD) is the most common cause of access-site vascular complications in transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The authors sought to determine if the systematic use of arteriotomy-site ballooning with concomitant manual compression following the delivery of a plug-based VCD (MANTA, Teleflex) can optimize toggle-plug assembly apposition to the common femoral artery (CFA) wall and improve the final hemostatic efficacy.
Methods: In this prospective, observational, single-center study, 323 consecutive patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI from October 2021 to December 2024 underwent access closure with the MANTA VCD.

Background: Diabetic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular events as compared to non-diabetic patients. This analysis investigated outcomes of diabetic patients presenting with multivessel disease (MVD) and STEMI in a contemporary trial and the relevance of an immediate versus staged multivessel PCI strategy in this high-risk population.
Methods: Patients enrolled in the MULTISTARS AMI trial were stratified according to the presence/absence of diabetes.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of death globally. HCM can precipitate heart failure (HF) by causing the cardiac tissue to weaken and stretch, thereby impairing its pumping efficiency. Moreover, HCM increases the risk of atrial fibrillation, which in turn elevates the likelihood of thrombus formation and stroke.
