From left to right: different perspectives on heart failure management

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Summary

Exploring diverse perspectives on heart failure management, this session presents a range of complex clinical cases. Topics include facilitated treatment of post-myocardial infarction interventricular septal defects, left ventricular perforation following Impella placement, diagnostic challenges in shock scenarios, the implications of severe right ventricular dysfunction on left ventricular assist device candidacy, management of tortuous coronary artery to left ventricle fistulas, and cases where cardiac pump function may not be the primary issue. These insights offer a multifaceted understanding of heart failure complexities.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Post–myocardial infarction interventricular septal defect: a facilitated treatment
  • Left ventricular perforation following Impella CP placement in a resuscitated STEMI patient with coronary artery disease
  • The great masquerader in shock: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
  • Is severe right ventricular dysfunction a contraindication to left ventricular assist device therapy?
  • When the pump is not the problem
