Case-based learning on different aspects of transcatheter LAA closure
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Engage in case-based learning focused on transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. This session covers safe transseptal puncture techniques, state-of-the-art standard LAA closure procedures, management of challenging LAA anatomies, and optimization of post-procedure antithrombotic therapy in high-risk patients.
Hostile access for TAVI procedure
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session addresses the challenges of hostile vascular access in TAVI procedures. Learn to identify difficult access sites through pre-operative imaging, explore alternative approaches such as axillary access, techniques to overcome iliac access difficulties, and management of peri- and post-operative complications by vascular surgeons.
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 Despite a CHA2DS2-VASC score of 5, anticoagulation was withdrawn.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...
Is this patient a good candidate for Left Atrial Appendage Closure? An interactive rapid-fire discussion
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This interactive session focuses on selecting good candidates for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure procedures. It covers the key clinical elements driving the indication for LAA closure and the technical elements that make a case complex. Through a series of case presentations and discussions, the session...
Management of LAA closure complications
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session explores the various complications that can arise during left atrial appendage (LAA) closure procedures, including pericardial effusion, device embolisation, and procedural strokes. Learn how to identify risk factors, prevent these complications, and effectively manage them through case-based discussions and expert guidance.
Unusual cases of PFO closure
15 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session will feature selected EuroPCR 2024 Clinical Case submissions focused on unusual cases of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore challenging cases, such as unexplained hypoxemia in an elderly man post-lung cancer lobectomy, a case of persistent dyspnea and...
Haemodynamic performance of transcatheter aortic valves: practical considerations for lifetime management
28 Nov 2022 – From PCR London Valves 2022
Watch this highly interactive session which focuses on the impact of haemodynamic performance on valve durability and patient survival, and how the design of bioprosthetic aortic valves influences clinical outcomes.
Transseptal puncture: Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure
23 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session to learn more about how to perform a transseptal puncture in the setting of LAA closure, with a case from Rigshospitalet, Denmark, transmitted live during EuroPCR 2019.
Closing holes: a florilege of complex cases
23 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session to discover several very interesting complex cases, such as a percutaneous closure of iatrogenic atrial septum defect after MVR with Maze procedure, a percutaneous closure of a cardiac fistula guided by 3D printing, and more!
Complex anatomy and complications during LAA closure
22 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session on to learn more about how to manage complex anatomy and complications during LAA closure, and discover compelling cases such as the retrieval of LAA-occluder from left ventricular outflow tract, the double device LAA closure, and more!
Treatment of aortic stenosis across the spectrum of surgical risk
22 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session to learn how emerging TAVI data will influence your daily clinical practice, and how to translate clinical trial findings into decision making for individual patients.
LAA closure: overcoming anatomical barriers
21 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session to learn all about how to successfully overcome anatomical barriers during LAA closure procedure: to recognise the ones that challenge successful LAA implementation, understand how to choose the best device in order to overcome them and to learn specific procedural techniques for achieving success...
