AI Summary

A minimally invasive method was tested to determine whether fatty deposits in a coronary artery restrict blood flow to the heart. The technique performed similarly to the standard, more invasive procedure in a large multicountry European randomized trial. Results were presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.26) and the study was simultaneously published online in the New England Journal of Medicine. The approach is one of several minimally invasive techniques in development that could broaden access to this technology and potentially improve outcomes for patients with serious heart disease.
