Pharmaceutical industry The Esprit BTK System is designed to keep arteries open and deliver a drug (Everolimus) to support vessel healing prior to completely dissolving.
Key Points:
- The Esprit BTK System is designed to keep arteries open and deliver a drug (Everolimus) to support vessel healing prior to completely dissolving.
- Until today, there were no stents or drug-coated balloons approved for use below the knee in the U.S.
- The Esprit BTK System is a first-of-its-kind dissolvable stent and is comprised of material similar to dissolving sutures.
- That's why we're revolutionizing treatments with resorbable scaffold technology below the knee," said Julie Tyler, senior vice president of Abbott's vascular business.

Pharmaceutical industry The tricuspid valve controls blood as it flows from the heart's right atrium to the right ventricle.
Key Points:
- The tricuspid valve controls blood as it flows from the heart's right atrium to the right ventricle.
- TR occurs when the valve doesn't close properly, causing a leak and allowing blood to flow backward in the heart.
- TR can force the heart to work harder, causing debilitating symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.
- TriClip has been approved for use in more than 50 countries, including in Europe and Canada, since its initial CE Mark approval in 2020.

Medical imaging The whole blood test on a portable instrument helps clinicians evaluate patients 18 years of age and older who present with suspected mild traumatic brain injury or mTBI, commonly known as concussion.
Key Points:
- The whole blood test on a portable instrument helps clinicians evaluate patients 18 years of age and older who present with suspected mild traumatic brain injury or mTBI, commonly known as concussion.
- Test results can help rule out the need for a CT scan of the head and assist in determining the best next steps for patient care.
- The i-STAT TBI cartridge with the i-STAT Alinity System requires a small venous blood sample, which is applied to the test cartridge.
- Now, we have a whole blood test that can help assess the brain right at the patient's bedside – expanding access to more health providers and therefore patients."

Pharmaceutical industry These findings were presented at the 17th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) held in Florence, Italy, on March 6, 2024.
Key Points:
- These findings were presented at the 17th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) held in Florence, Italy, on March 6, 2024.
- GLP-1 medicines – also known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) - are increasingly being prescribed for people with Type 2 diabetes as they provide glycemic benefit and support weight loss.
- "While treating my patients, I've observed that when we've added a CGM, like the FreeStyle Libre technology, to their GLP-1 therapy, we see even better glycemic control.
- To maximize the benefits of GLP-1 medicines, it's worth considering the combination of a CGM to support people who live with Type 2 diabetes."
