Atrial flow regulator implantation through atrial septal defect of previous mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: bailout strategy

30 Jun 2025

Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) has reshaped the prognosis for heart failure patients with secondary mitral regurgitation, but recurrence remains a real challenge when surgical options are off the table.

This case highlights an innovative use of an atrial flow regulator (AFR) to manage elevated left atrial...

Simultaneous high-risk PCI and TAVI with hemodynamic support: a stepwise approach using Impella CP SmartAssist

26 Jun 2025

What’s the safest approach when surgical options are off the table? This real-life case shows how complex coronary revascularsation and TAVI were performed in a single session, supported by Impella.

Explore the rationale behind the sequence, the device choices, and the outcome in a high-risk patient with...

ViV challenges in degenerated sutureless bioprosthesis

08 Apr 2025

Watch this EuroIntervention image to learn how the collision of a TAV device during valve crossing in ViV TAVI can potentially cause instability or dehiscence of the sutureless bioprosthesis, contributing to severe poorly tolerated PVL.

Feasibility of sheathless Impella for protected percutaneous coronary intervention: a single-center experience

02 May 2025

Impella CP microaxial flow pump supports complete revascularisation during high-risk PCI, but standard implantation often leads to vascular complications. This article explores an initial experience with a sheathless implantation technique, which shows promise as a feasible and safe alternative.
