Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: L. M. Desroche, G. Lemesle

Speakers: T. Peixoto, P. Monteiro, S. Slawek-Szmyt, M. Martinho, C. D. Sánchez-Serrano, P. Rajendra Kumar

Summary

This session addresses the critical role of mechanical thrombectomy in managing pulmonary embolism, focusing on rescue interventions in refractory massive acute cases. It explores clinical and technical challenges that extend beyond current guidelines, reviews complex cases including intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism with peripheral embolism, intracardiac thrombosis, and rare presentations such as bilateral pulmonary artery stenosis misdiagnosed for decades. Additionally, it discusses the complexities of right heart catheterization in emergent settings.
