Challenging interventional procedures in cardiogenic shock and acute heart failure: the role of ventricular assist devices, individualised therapy and local facilities in the decision process

21 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019

Consult this session to learn more about patient factors indicating benefit from mechanical support during PCI, the different left ventricular support devices that may be used, and get insight on the specific challenges faced when managing cardiogenic shock in centres without access to mechanical support or 24/7 PCI.

Mechanical circulatory support for protected high-risk PCI: when and how?

21 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019

Consult this session on high-risk PCI to learn all about the risks and benefits of mechanical circulatory support, with various clinical cases demonstrating when and how to use it, and how to select the appropriate patient to undergo this procedure.

High-risk PCI with mechanical circulatory support

21 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019

Consult this session to learn more about the management of high-risk PCI with mechanical circulatory support, thanks to a selection of interesting cases: rotablation to the rescue in a low ejection fraction patient, saving a single remaining vessel, and more!

2018 ESC/EACTS Guidelines on myocardial revascularization

21 Jan 2019

These Guidelines represent the third time that the ESC and EACTS have brought together cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in a joint Task Force to review the ever-increasing body of evidence, with the mission of drafting balanced, patient-centred practice Guidelines on myocardial revascularization.
