Acute heart failure

Luis Ortega-Paz interviews C. Michael Gibson about the AEGIS-II primary trial results which he presented at ACC.24 in Atlanta.

ApoA-I post-heart attack showed no reduction in 90-day death or heart attack risk. However, exploratory analysis hints at benefits at one year, suggesting potential for longer-term efficacy.

Mirvat Alasnag interviews Jacob Eifer Møller about the results of the DANGER-shock Trial which he presented at the ACC.24 in Atlanta.

Results show that the implantation of microaxial flow pump post-heart attack significantly boosts survival in patients with STEMI-related cardiogenic shock, though with increased complications. The trial's positive...

Live updates on a selection of major Late Breaking Clinical Trials of interest in interventional cardiology presented at the American College of Cardiology 2024 Scientific Sessions #ACC24

In the absence of other arterial access, this step-by-step tutorial shows how to perform anterograde angiography of the arterial axis after removal of the large sheath, making it easier to recognise and rapidly manage vascular complications such as arterial lesions and haemostasis failure.

Explore catheter intervention for mechanical valve thrombosis, understand severe chest pain and shock in a young female patient, discover iatrogenic left main coronary artery type F dissection, address refractory ascites transitioning from internal medicine to interventional cardiology, and witness a narrowly avoided rotablation nightmare in this...

These presentations focus on complications that may occur during PCI in the cathlab. Through the lens of these cases, be prepared about what type of complications one might face during PCI, and get updates on the latest guidelines and tools developed for emergencies.

Join us for an intriguing session covering a range of topics in miscellaneous interventions: discover how to address sudden onset heart failure, unravel unusual echocardiogram findings in a 15-year-old and explore the diverse problem-solving skills required by interventional radiologists.

Explore the complexities of cardiogenic shock management in this session: understand its pathophysiology, learn about the role of mechanical support (IABP, Impella, ECMO) in addition to pharmacological treatment, gather tips and tricks from expert speakers and gain insights into real-world cases.

Panos Xaplanteris & Leonidas Koliastasis provide their take on the final results of the ECLS-SHOCK (Extracorporeal Life Support in Infarct-Related Cardiogenic Shock) which were presented by Holger Thiele during the ESC 2023 congress in Amsterdam.

Watch the case of a 79-year-old male patient admitted to hospital with progressive dyspnea in NYHA functional class III-IV and signs of fluid overload, who presented a subannular perforation of LVOT in the region of fibrous aortomitral continuity, and find out how he was treated.
