 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle discusses a JACC State of the Art Review noting direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) should not be standard treatment. He then explores various ways of guiding intervention for complex coronary lesions by optical coherence tomography (OCT) or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Finally, Dr. Eagle talks about a prespecified analysis of the CLEAR Outcomes Randomized Trial on the impact of bempedoic acid on total cardiovascular events.    Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View

 In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at transcatheter-based intervention for tetraology of Fallot. He then examines how a small left ventricle in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Finally, Dr. Eagle shares some thoughts on an aspirin-free strategy for immediate treatment following complex percutaneous coronary intervention.    Subscribe to Eagle’s Eye View
