Electrosurgical techniques in transcatheter mitral valve replacement
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Delve into electrosurgical techniques in transcatheter mitral valve replacement. This session covers advanced methods including the tip-to-base lampoon technique, electrosurgical laceration of failed devices, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction management, combined septal ablation and valve-in-valve procedures, and management of severe aortic regurgitation post-laceration.
TAVI in bicuspid aortic valve disease
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore the unique challenges of TAVI in bicuspid aortic valve disease with a focus on long-term outcomes, residual gradients, prosthesis-patient mismatch, and anatomical subtype comparisons. This session draws on international registry data to inform clinical decision-making and optimize procedural strategies in this complex patient population.
Innovative strategies for coronary interventions
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore innovative strategies in coronary interventions, including the EPIC26 sirolimus-eluting stent study, use of percutaneous ventricular assist devices in high-risk patients, the SCORE multicenter study on SeQuent SCB, DCB versus DES for ostial left circumflex lesions, and site-specific antithrombotic therapy outcomes from the DESyne BDS Plus...
How to snare a TAVI when crossing is too complex
30 Jan 2025
Crossing the aortic valve can pose significant challenges, particularly in cases involving a horizontal aorta, bulky asymmetric calcifications, or prior prosthesis implantation in valve-in-valve procedures. While some TAVI devices feature deflectable delivery systems to enhance coaxiality, current self-expanding valves lack this capability. When standard techniques like...
