Evolving paradigms in cardiovascular interventions: from procedural innovation to patient-centred outcomes

[en] over the past two decades, cardiovascular interventions have undergone major transformation, extending indications while improving safety and efficiency. the focus has progressively shifted from procedural feasibility towards complications, durability, and patient-centred outcomes. this editorial integrates recent data across transcatheter aortic valve implantation (taVi), coronary interventions, and aortic diseases. Procedural simplification, personalised strategies, and improved mechanistic understanding are reshaping clinical practice and supporting a more integrated approach to cardiovascular care.
