Peripheral expertise to the rescue

22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

This session addresses peripheral vascular expertise in managing access complications and occlusions. Learn about approaches to femoral access challenges during TAVI, endovascular solutions for iatrogenic hepatic artery rupture, and unconventional treatments for superficial femoral artery occlusions caused by covered stents.

Navigating complexity: TAVI in challenging anatomies

22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

Navigate the complexities of TAVI in challenging anatomies. This session reviews anatomical variations such as horizontal aorta, iliofemoral tortuosity, low coronary ostia, bicuspid valves, and annular eccentricity, alongside preprocedural imaging and risk stratification. It further evaluates device selection and procedural adaptations essential for successful TAVI in...

TAVI - complications

21 Nov 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023

Because TAVI is not without risk, learn about bailout endovascular techniques to counter transcatheter aortic valve LV dislocation, analyze the cost of infectious complications caused by TAVR compared with SAVR, and discover how imaging can predict aortic root rupture or conduction abnormalities, among others.

Endovascular aortic repair and case-based discussion of complications during peripheral interventions (Part 2)

20 May 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021

This session, which was originally broadcast during EuroPCR 2021, presents 6 cases of unexpected complications of large vessel access in the context of TAVI procedures and enables our experts to discuss their successful management, using a variety of techniques. It highlights the need for a large...

Endovascular aortic repair and case-based discussion of complications during peripheral interventions (Part 1)

20 May 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021

Watch this session if you want to learn more about Endovascular aortic repair and complications during peripheral interventions. It highlights the need for a large toolbox and the importance of pre-procedural planning, ultrasound-guided puncture, and team-working (vascular/heart teams).

This session was originally presented during EuroPCR 2021.

From aortic root to iliac vessel aneurysm therapies

23 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019

Consult this session to learn more about aneurysm therapies, and discover compelling cases along with innovative treatment strategies, such as the percutaneous closure of an aortic giant pseudo-aneurysm, the TEVAR for coarctation of aorta with dissecting aortic aneurysm, and more!

Retrograde access and transcollateral technique for below-the-knee angioplasty

22 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019

Consult this session to learn more about the retrograde access and transcollateral technique for below-the-knee angioplasty, with various interresting cases involving popliteal trifurcation, critical limb ischaemia, and more!
