Myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock - Challenging cases
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Cardiogenic shock is a complication that occurs in 5 to 10 % of MIs, and mortality remains very high. Although early revascularisation can save lives, inotropes still have their limitations, and data on the impact of mechanical circulatory assistance is limited. Watch this session to find...

17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Madji Saada, James Nolan and Ariel Roguin describe radiation in the cathlab before setting out the basic rules to follow to be protected against it.
The cathlab is potentially the most irradiating environment in which a healthcare professional can work and, over a long period, it can...
OCT vs. IVUS vs. angiography guidance: a real-time updated network meta-analysis
27 Aug 2023
Ali Nazmi Calik interviews Gregg Stone about the results of the meta-analysis which he presented during the ESC Congress 2023 in Amsterdam. It showed that intravascular imaging-guided PCI (IVUS or OCT) reduces target lesion failure, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and revascularization compared to angiography-guided PCI.
