The U.S. FDA cleared Artrya Ltd.’s Salix Coronary Anatomy software that analyzes coronary computed tomography angiogram scans via AI to better diagnose coronary artery disease.

Counterintuitively, use of cerebral embolic protection failed to reduce the incidence of stroke in the 72 hours following a transcatheter aortic valve replacement or implantation found a late-breaking clinical trial presented at ACC.25, the American College of Cardiology’s annual scientific session held March 29-31 in Chicago and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

GE Healthcare Technologies Inc. gained full ownership of Nihon Medi-Physics Co. Ltd. after acquiring the remaining 50% stake from Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd. on March 31.

The two-year results of TRILUMINATE trial showed the first objective benefit to use of Abbott Laboratories’ Triclip transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair device in a presentation at ACC.25, the American College of Cardiology’s annual scientific session held March 29-31 in Chicago and simultaneously published in Circulation.

Don’t wait. Edwards Lifesciences Corp.’s additional insights from the Early TAVR trial showed a clear benefit for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis.

When every minute matters, quickly determining which patients in the emergency department need urgent care for myocardial infarction can save lives. Researchers at the University Hospital Münster in Münster, Germany, developed a deep learning model that can detect features on electrocardiograms that more accurately identifies which patients require urgent revascularization than clinicians and provides results faster than high-sensitivity troponin lab tests.

Abbott Laboratories snagged a CE mark for its Volt pulsed field ablation catheter for atrial fibrillation several months earlier than the mid-year approval expected. The Abbott Park, Ill.-based company has begun Volt’s commercial launch with the physicians who participated in its European clinical trials and plans to expand to other users on the continent in the second half of 2025.

At the four-day KIMES 2025 exhibition, more than 35,000 products and prototypes were on display. In the clamor, BioWorld engaged with three promising neurological disease-focused companies – Readycure Inc., Neurive Co. Ltd. and Vuno Inc. – that showcased innovative technology for conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and tinnitus at the Seoul-based event.

The final U.S. Medicare national coverage determination for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) devices comes with an expected coverage with evidence development mandate, but some analysts expect that TTVR devices will face competition from tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) devices, the subject of an impending national coverage analysis.

Brainomix Ltd. raised £14 million ($18 million) in a series C financing round to expand its AI-powered imaging solution, Brainomix 360 Stroke, into the U.S. market. Funds will also go towards advancing the Brainomix 360 E-Lung, which can accurately predict the progression of lung fibrosis. “This series C round is a vital fundraise for us,” Michalis Papadakis, CEO and co-founder of Brainomix, told BioWorld. “We are in a growth stage where we want to bring this next generation of stroke AI into the U.S. market.”
