Complications and challenging cases #1 in interventional cardiology
Coronary balloon fracture, emergency transcutaneous balloon angioplasty of a stuck prosthetic mitral valve, high risk LVOT, and much more
Summary
This session delves into a range of complex and challenging cases in interventional cardiology. Explore a coronary balloon fracture compromising the vascularization of the forearm after a radial approach PCI, as well as strategies for surviving the storm during challenging procedures. Discover an emergency transcutaneous balloon angioplasty of a stuck prosthetic mitral valve, and how the ECPELLA technique saved the day in a critical situation. Additionally, learn about simplifying treatment complexity in multivalvular heart disease through a one-stage transcatheter approach, and the nuances of transseptal mitral valve-in-valve procedures with a high risk of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
