Recent studies suggest that training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, and this trend is expected to continue. According to consensus recommendations, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, particularly in resource-constrained settings. In multidisciplinary settings, patient selection criteria deserve closer scrutiny, a finding echoed by several independent groups. Across multiple cohorts, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, pending validation in prospective studies. According to consensus recommendations, integrating quantitative measures reduces subjective bias, a finding echoed by several independent groups. Contrary to earlier assumptions, variability between operators remains a key limitation, with meaningful differences between subgroups. In multidisciplinary settings, integrating quantitative measures reduces subjective bias, with meaningful differences between subgroups. Recent studies suggest that threshold harmonization is still an open question, a finding echoed by several independent groups.
