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...
Combined LAA closure and transcatheter mitral valve repair - LIVE Case
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
An 82-year-old male patient with a history of PM (pacemaker) implantation in 2024, and ischaemic cardiomyopathy presented with symptomatic heart failure due to severe secondary mitral regurgitation and impaired LV function (EF 40 %). He also presented with recurrent gastro-intestinal bleeding while on DOAC for atrial...

EuroPCR 2025 – The FAITAVI trial: angiography versus physiology-guided PCI in patients undergoing TAVI – 12-month follow-up data
21 May 2025
Paris, France, 20-23 May 2025. The EuroPCR Course Directors have selected 3 major late-breaking trials that will be presented for the first time during the 2025 edition of EuroPCR. These trials were selected because of their design, results, and potential to impact practice, among them is the...
Primary tricuspid regurgitation: how can we avoid high-risk surgery?
08 Apr 2025
A 70-year-old male patient presents with severe dyspnea (NYHA III) and marked leg edema, alongside a complex medical history including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and liver fibrosis.
With invasive hemodynamic measurements indicating elevated pressures and reduced cardiac output, how would you approach the treatment of this patient,...
