When a breaking news story occurs, a television or radio program may interrupt its regular programming and run a short segment on the event. This is called a “cut-in” and is used to communicate urgent, relevant information, such as an ongoing severe weather event.
Recognizing that critical research may not be completed by the general abstract submission deadline, we offer an option for Late Breaking Abstracts to honor novel and impactful work that has only recently become available. These research developments should be significant enough to have a direct impact on the clinical/scientific community and/or patient care.
This year, the CHI 2025 program committee has selected three Late-Breaking Works to be presented in the ePoster area during the meeting. These abstracts are the product of an extensive review process involving expert reviewers. The Program Committee carefully adheres to criteria such as the need for innovative, ground-breaking research; a clear description of the problem; and a potential impact on practice or patient care. The following types of research are typically suited to the main ePoster sessions and are not eligible for consideration as a Late-Breaker:
This is a prospective, single-center study of a new device in a large, well-characterized cohort. The results demonstrate that a liberal non-fasting strategy improves comfort, safety, and outcomes during cardiac catheterization with the DurAVR transcatheter aortic valve. Moreover, it is the first time that such data have been reported in this patient population and with a new technology in the transcatheter aortic valve space.
