Consult this session to discover challenging TAVR and other structural interventions cases, such as a cardiac catheter retrieval during a posterior descending artery closure in a 3-year-old baby, a post-TAVR cardiovascular collapse, and more!
EuroPCR 2019: Highlights of Interventions for Valvular Disease
Martine Gilard (France), Philip MacCarthy (UK) and Michael Lee (Hong Kong) discuss what’s new at EuroPCR 2019 to meet the demands of a rapidly expanding population: simplifying the technique and minimising the risk to the patient, acknowledging the huge expansion of mitral edge-to-edge repair and the...
EXPAND trial shows real-world patient selection for transcatheter mitral valve repair
What is the best size of MitraClip to use for functional mitral regurgitation, degenerative mitral regurgitation or commissural lesions? Francesco Maisano (Switzerland), Paolo Denti (Italy) and Ralph Stephan von Bardeleben (Germany) examine the latest data from the EXPAND trial, which show the real-world use of percutaneous...
Advances in mitral repair therapy with the PASCAL device
Watch this short video to learn about Konstantinos Spargias’ experience of using the PASCAL transcatheter valve repair system in patients with mitral regurgitation and find out the 6-month outcomes from the CLASP study
This interview supported by Edwards Lifesciences was filmed at EuroPCR 2019: see more videos...
Will the COAPT study change treatment of mitral regurgitation?
More effective, safer treatment is needed for functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), a consequence of myocardial disease and left ventricular disease, which is associated with poor quality of life and high mortality rates. Join Ralph Stephan von Bardeleben, Patrice Guerin and Saibal Kar as they examine the...
Mitral valve repair outcomes using the PASCAL repair system
Mitral valve repair is a fast moving field in interventional cardiology. Join Jörg Hausleiter and Ralph Stephan von Bardeleben as they talk to Volker Rudolph about the PASCAL transcatheter valve repair system, which has recently been granted a CE mark. Find out the key features that...
Quality in the Cathlab: What is needed to establish a quality program (NAP)
Lynne Hinterbuchner, from the Salzburg University Clinic in Austria asks David Sparv, the Chief Nursing Officer for 5 hospitals in Sweden about quality in the Cathlab. Education and training for Cathlab nurses and allied professionals needs to be standardised. The European core curriculum leading to certification...
Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair in patients with heart failure and secondary mitral regurgitation
Anna Sonia Petronio, Francesco Maisano and Bernard Prendergast discuss the background to the PCR statement on percutaneous edge-to-edge repair in patients with heart failure and secondary mitral regurgitation in light of opposing results from the COAPT and MITRA-FR randomised controlled trials. They explain the reasons for the...
