Antithrombotic therapy after TAVI: optimal agents, regimens, and patient selection
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session critically evaluates antithrombotic therapy following TAVI, addressing optimal agents and regimens tailored to patients with and without atrial fibrillation. It also reviews clinical presentations and management of valve thrombosis post-TAVI, using guideline-based approaches and real-world cases to individualize patient care.
How to obtain a surgical-liked result in a patient with primary mitral regurgitation?
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into achieving surgical-like outcomes in patients with primary mitral regurgitation undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). It covers anatomical criteria for optimal patient selection, essential procedural steps including device choice and imaging guidance, and key factors contributing to durable success and patient improvement.
When mitral disease is not the only problem on mitral TEER patients
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore the multifaceted challenges in patients undergoing mitral TEER when additional mitral and tricuspid pathologies coexist. This session reviews data from the EXPANDed studies on tricuspid regurgitation post-mitral TEER, one-year outcomes based on cardiac damage extent, pulmonary hypertension dynamics, and the long-term mortality causes in this...
A central role for cardiac imaging in transcatheter LAA closure
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Discover the central role of cardiac imaging in transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. This session covers sealing techniques, advances in cardiac tomography for assessing LAA wall thickness, fusion of 3D computational modeling with fluoroscopy guidance, device healing evaluation through early serial imaging, and complex cases...
Complication management during mitral TEER procedures
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore complex case scenarios of complication management during mitral TEER procedures. This session covers haemodynamic challenges, thrombotic events, device malfunctions, and rare embolisation incidents, providing practical insights into effective bailout techniques and procedural problem-solving.
