Management of uncommon TAVI complications

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session delves into the management of uncommon but critical complications arising from Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Through detailed case studies from Italy, Lebanon, and Turkey, it highlights real-time decision-making strategies for life-threatening scenarios including left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, acute aortic dissection, and complex...

Challenging transcatheter interventions for mitral stenosis and mitral annular calcification

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses the challenges of transcatheter interventions in severe mitral stenosis and mitral annular calcification. It highlights therapeutic innovations such as treating mitral stenosis with annular calcification, valve-in-MAC procedures, use of extra-large Myval valves, transatrial ViMAC approaches, and combined multivalve interventions in rheumatic heart disease.

Bifurcation PCI with complications - Part 1

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses complications encountered during bifurcation PCI through real-world cases involving stent dislodgement, entrapped guidewires, failed wiring techniques, and fractured devices. It highlights technical rescue maneuvers, the role of intravascular imaging, and long-term challenges encountered in managing complex bifurcation lesions to improve procedural success and...

When the anterior leaflet gets in the way: mitral leaflet modification before TMVR

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses the intricacies of mitral leaflet modification techniques prior to transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). It features innovative approaches such as LAMPOON-assisted valve-in-ring replacement, balloon-assisted leaflet translocation, and strategies to overcome the challenges posed by mitral annular calcification.
