Orbital Atherectomy Prior to Coronary Stent Implantation Does Not Lead to Better Outcomes Compared to Conventional Balloon Angioplasty
Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF)

Results from the large-scale randomized ECLIPSE trial found that a lesion preparation strategy of routine orbital atherectomy had similar outcomes compared with conventional balloon angioplasty prior to implantation of a drug-eluting stent (DES) in severely calcified coronary arteries. Findings were reported today at TCT 2024, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). TCT is the world’s premier educational meeting specializing in interventional cardiovascular medicine.

Study Identifies How Ovarian Cancer Protects Itself, Paves Way for Improved Immunotherapy Approach
Mount Sinai Health System

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a way that ovarian cancer tumors manipulate their environment to resist immunotherapy and identified a drug target that could overcome that resistance. The study, published in the October 30 online issue of Cell used a cutting-edge spatial genomics technology and preclinical animal models, with tumor specimens from ovarian cancer patients further validating the findings. They found that ovarian cancer cells produce a molecule called Interleukin-4 (IL-4), which is typically associated with asthma and the skin condition eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis. The study went on to find that the cancer cells used IL-4 to create a protective environment that kept away killer immune cells, making the tumors resistant to immunotherapy. A drug, dupilumab, which blocks IL-4’s activity, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is already used to treat asthma and eczema. This new study suggests dupi
