Life threatening complications in CTO PCI
23 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Focus on life-threatening complications during CTO PCI with topics including rotational atherectomy challenges, interventricular septal puncture, surgical retrieval of fractured guidewires, and image-guided strategies for managing multivessel CTO complications, enhancing procedural safety.
Mitral TEER in challenging scenarios - Part 1
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Confront challenging clinical scenarios in mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with this session highlighting unique case experiences. Topics include innovative approaches to transcatheter mitral valve repair, urgent management of critical complications such as severe mitral regurgitation causing respiratory distress, and complex interventions in resource-limited settings such...
Non left main bifurcation - LIVE case
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
A 53-year-old male presented with a late STEMI one month ago. Coronary angiography revealed three-vessel disease: CX occlusion (culprit lesion), RCA bifurcation stenosis, and severe mid LAD-D1 (1-1-1) stenosis. The operators performed RCA PCI during the STEMI hospitalization.
In this live case, they performed the LAD-D1 bifurcation...
LAA closure - LIVE case
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
A 78-year-old woman with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and a history of pacemaker implantation in 2023, presented with retinal hemorrhage while on NACO for AF. Despite a CHA2DS2-VASC score of 5, anticoagulation was withdrawn. The operators implanted a Watchman device in the LAA via a venous right femoral...
Antegrade CTO - LIVE case
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session features a LIVE educational case from Netcare Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, focusing on the management of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) using an antegrade approach. Participants will learn how to identify CTO anatomy through dual injection, as well as how to perform IVUS-guided...
Multivessel disease PCI guided by physiology and IVUS - LIVE case
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
A 78-year-old woman with hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity, presented with angina CCS2 and preserved LV function. The coronary angiogram showed stenosis in the RCA (proximal and mid), CX, and calcified proximal and mid LAD involving D1 and D2.
The operators performed PCI on the RCA (1 stent)...
Endovascular treatment for acute chronic heart failure
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session comprises a selection of complex endovascular cases for the treatment of acute chronic heart failure, including the use of 3D printing and virtual reality to close a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, closure of a post-septal myectomy ventricular septal defect, and catheter-based treatment of a heart...
TAVI - Coronary protection strategies
20 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Consult this session for key insights into diverse coronary protection approaches: get a look at the management of a complex case involving a degenerated aortic bioprosthesis and paravalvular leak, observe a successful TAVI in calcified bicuspid anatomy with low coronaries, delve into a case featuring a degenerated...
Emergent transcatheter therapy
21 Nov 2021 – From PCR London Valves 2021
This series of 3 videos presented during the PCR London Valves 2021 Congress allows you to appreciate an emergent mitral ViV implantation after a recent re-do bioprosthetic AVR, a cardiogenic shock after transfemoral mitral valve reconstruction, and MitraClip for torrential mitral regurgitation with Impella CP support.
Transcatheter Valve Implantation or Replacement - Rescue needed: what are the options?
14 Apr 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021
If you wish to learn how to overcome challenges of mitral disease and previous atrial septum closure, how valve re-tensioning can solve hemolysis after TMVI, or how a partially anchored cardioband can detach secondary to system torsion, go and watch this session!
