Behind standard practice: a place for DCB

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines the role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) beyond standard practice in coronary revascularization. It includes discussions on revascularization strategies in young patients, rescue of early distal LIMA–LAD anastomosis, treatment of in-stent restenosis, stepwise complex CTO bifurcation revascularization using kissing DCBs, and management of calcified...

TAVI in challenging anatomies

18 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025

This session focuses on the challenges of performing TAVI in complex anatomical settings. It covers issues such as valve compression, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-related left ventricular responses, alternative management strategies during crises, and handling anatomical complexities like membranous septal aneurysm at the annulus and sinus of Valsalva in...

Valve-in-valve

08 Feb 2025 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2025

Explore this comprehensive session on valve-in-valve procedures, covering a wide range of complex scenarios. Gain insights into the first TAVR in a surgically implanted aortic Trifecta valve, TAVI-valve-in-valve double chimney stenting, transcatheter aortic valve replacement in a surgical aortic valve for bioprosthetic valve dysfunction, valve-in-valve for...

Rapid-fire - Valve-in-Valve TAVI

17 Feb 2024 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2024

Through these slides, gain valuable insights into valve-in-valve TAVI from a rapid-fire series of scenarios that cover structural valve deterioration after SAPIEN 3 implantation, a successful aortic valve-in-valve with balloon valve fracture and coronary protection, and TAV-in-SAV for an extremely small failed surgical valve.
