TEER for challenging anatomy: from myth to reality
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore advanced TEER techniques for challenging anatomies. This session covers indications, periprocedural steps, state-of-the-art procedural methods, and management of failed surgical tricuspid annuloplasty, with case discussions highlighting practical learnings for complex mitral and tricuspid interventions.
Intracoronary imaging-guided MINOCA management
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session addresses the nuanced role of intracoronary imaging in guiding the management of MINOCA patients. Explore interventions including interventional endarterectomy, cutting-balloon PCI for spontaneous coronary artery dissection, strategies for spastic vulnerable plaques, and unusual acute STEMI presentations.
Supraflex for high-risk patients and lesions: from practice to evidence-based medicine proven through FIRE and COMPARE
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Discover the latest evidence on the Supraflex thin-strut sirolimus DES in complex cases—from small vessels and diabetes to STEMI—supported by OCT analysis. This session highlights Supraflex’s performance in high bleeding risk and elderly patients, featuring data from FIRE, COMPARE, EARTH HBR, and Cruz Senior studies. Get...
State-of-the-art on left main interventions in Latin America
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session, in collaboration with the Sociedad Latino Americana de Cardiologia Intervencionista (SOLACI), provides insights into the management of left main coronary artery disease in Latin America. Attendees will learn about the revascularization guidelines for left main in the region, the approaches to left main bifurcations...
Complex coronary artery disease: how to use intracoronary imaging in daily practice challenges?
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session, in collaboration with various cardiology societies, focuses on the use of intracoronary imaging to optimize percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in complex coronary artery disease. It presents case studies demonstrating the role of imaging-based assessment of coronary calcified lesions, the importance of a standardized imaging...
Predicting the unpredictable: application of predictive modeling in complex transcatheter aortic valve replacement
13 Dec 2023
This case highlights the potential add-on value of reduced-order computational modeling over standard CT scan analysis due to its ability to predict the interaction of different devices or sizes with the patient-specific anatomy.
Intravascular lithotripsy in the real world: the revolution continues
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
In this session, review the evolution in the use of IVL over the last few years, with a widening of the indications, observe that OCT can underestimate the number and depth of calcium fractured induced by IVL, or see that the technique is safe and effective...
SOLACI research - Developing original research across Latin America
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
In these slides, get an insight into real-world bifurcation lesion management in Latin America, diverse STEMI reperfusion access in this region, and limitations to widespread TAVI adoption, along with the Latin America TAVI guidelines.
Clinical applications of IVUS, OCT and other intracoronary imaging techniques: practical simulation-based learning (Part 2)
19 May 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021
Often, angiography is not enough, and imaging can be very useful. In this session, originally presented during EuroPCR 2021, our experts use clinical cases to demonstrate that in all circumstances (ostial LAD, stent failure, bifurcation, calcified lesion, ACS...), imaging is quite simple to analyze and particularly...
Clinical applications of IVUS, OCT and other intracoronary imaging techniques: practical simulation-based learning (Part 1)
19 May 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021
The aim of this session, originally presented during EuroPCR 2021, is to demonstrate how intra-coronary imaging can improve outcomes, to help understand appropriate indications for its use, and to provide practical tips & tricks on how to integrate intra-coronary imaging into daily clinical practice through a...
