In-stent restenosis: exploring novel solution for an old problem
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores innovative approaches to treating in-stent restenosis (ISR) with a focus on drug-coated balloons (DCB) and sirolimus or paclitaxel-eluting balloon catheters. It includes clinical outcomes from IVUS-guided procedures, cutting balloon angioplasty, comparisons between DCB and DES, and emerging machine learning tools to predict target-lesion...
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.
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.
Therapeutic choices for TTVIV-TTVIR interventions
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore therapeutic choices for transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve and valve-in-ring interventions. Case studies cover annular ring expansion, pacing-related infection, jugular vein access valve replacement, Ebstein anomaly, and double valve-in-valve procedures in right heart disease.
