What's new in Interventional Cardiology

Stroke prevention is a major public health priority. For over 50 years, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been the standard treatment for severe carotid stenosis. More recently, carotid artery stenting (CAS) has emerged as an effective, less invasive endovascular alternative. Interested in learning more? Check out the...

An 85-year-old woman presents with exertional dyspnea and angina, alongside severe paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis, marked mitral and tricuspid valve disease, and two-vessel coronary artery disease. Frailty markers and hostile pelvic anatomy further complicate her profile.

How would your Heart Team approach this challenging case?

While FFR traditionally reflects the severity of a lesion at a fixed location, PPG incorporates the pullback profile, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of disease distribution.

An 81-year-old man with history of severe aortic stenosis previously treated with a balloon-expandable transcatheter valve was referred for progressive exertional dyspnea due to bioprosthetic valve degeneration.

Guillaume Bonnet interviews Christian Spaulding about the SELUTION DeNovo Trial he presented at TCT 2025, in San Francisco. 

Prof. Christian Spaulding, principal investigator of the study, discusses the trial design, key outcomes, breaks down the nuances behind the sirolimus DCB strategy versus contemporary DES, and shares insights...

This year’s coverage was built on innovative formats to support one clear strategy: sharing strong messages and high-quality education through well-prepared, creative content. The #PCRLV social media team was led by Pamela Gatto, and divided into 6 tracks: aortic, mitral, tricuspid, closure, imaging and nursing.

At PCR, collaboration and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do.

Together, we create an environment where expertise is shared, talents complement each other, and diversity becomes a strength. It is this collective spirit that drives interventional cardiology forward and inspires innovation every day.

This individual patient data analysis of the three largest RCTs evaluating IVUS-guided stent optimisation showed that an MSA > 5.5 mm2 was associated with reduced TVF at one year.

Edoardo Zancanaro interviews Julien Dreyfus & David Messika-Zeitoun about the MITRACURE registry, a large international initiative aimed at capturing real-world data on patients with mitral regurgitation referred for surgery. in 2019. The study shows outcomes differ from expert centers, with higher mortality and lower repair rates, especially...
