EuroIntervention: image in cardiology

An 85-year-old man presented in cardiogenic shock with torrential aortic regurgitation after prior surgical and TAVI valve-in-valve procedures. With high coronary obstruction risk, urgent CT assessment and in-silico simulations guided a rapid redo TAVI-in-TAVI-in-valve implantation, demonstrating that CT-assisted emergency redo-TAVI is feasible and lifesaving in high-risk...

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...

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...

Watch this EuroIntervention image to discover how a complex case of severe pulmonary vein stenosis after atrial fibrillation ablation was successfully managed with multi-stent implantation and intravascular imaging guidance — restoring the patient’s quality of life almost immediately.

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.

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.

Balloon entrapment in valvuloplasty can be life-threatening, especially after balloon rupture. Learn about a new technique involving balloon internalisation and safety snares for successful retrieval and sheath upsizing.

Late progression of TR following T-TEER is not uncommon and may be challenging to treat due to anatomical and technical limitations. This is the 1st report of Gore Cardioform ASD Occluder implantation to treat recurrent severe TR after T-TEER.

This image highlights the challenges of managing infective endocarditis (IE) and explores the potential role of transcatheter extraction devices in addressing unmet needs for patients who cannot undergo surgery.
