Post myocardial infarction and iatrogenic VSDs: case-based decision taking
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on decision-making in post-myocardial infarction and iatrogenic ventricular septal defects (VSDs) through illustrative cases. It covers transcatheter closure techniques, zero contrast interventions guided by echocardiography, and innovative approaches to late and residual VSDs following congenital heart surgery.
Imaging evaluation in structural heart interventions
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session offers a comprehensive evaluation of imaging techniques applied in structural heart interventions. It covers innovative studies including the impact of Dapagliflozin on multivalvular disease post-TAVI, advanced fusion methods combining CT and echocardiography to assess aortic stenosis severity, and the clinical relevance of the fibrocalcific...
Other valvular and structural interventions
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Covering a spectrum of valvular and structural heart interventions, this session discusses systemic aortic valve TEER in complex congenital cases, compares TAVI and surgical AVR outcomes via meta-analysis, highlights radiation protection advances in complex endovascular repair, and presents combined mitral and tricuspid TEER techniques, novel ultrasound...
When transcatheter LAA closure becomes challenging
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the technical and clinical challenges encountered during transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, including management of peri-device leaks, alternative access routes like transhepatic approaches, complications following surgical closures, and rare procedural adversities such as accidental aortic puncture.
Beyond visualisation: the value and future of 4D intracardiac echocardiography in tricuspid repair and replacement
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Explore the transformative role of 4D intracardiac echocardiography in guiding tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and valve replacement for tricuspid regurgitation. This session highlights how real-time, high-resolution imaging enhances procedural efficiency and safety, reducing reliance on general anesthesia and shortening procedure times compared to traditional imaging modalities.
Beyond the horizon - Future of structural heart innovations and PCI
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Structural heart and coronary interventions are expanding rapidly, with innovation increasingly focused on managing complex anatomies and diversifying treatment strategies.
The PRISM-PCI toolkit is introduced as a framework to support decision-making in complex PCI, alongside advances in transcatheter valve therapies spanning mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary interventions, as...
Seeing differently, treating better: advanced imaging shaping modern structural heart practice
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores the transformative role of advanced imaging, particularly 3D intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), in modern structural heart interventions. It provides practical insights into implementation, highlighting how these tools can enhance workflow efficiency and procedural confidence across transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), left atrial appendage (LAA) closure,...
Insight from recent evidence in structural heart disease: indications for LAA closure (CHAMPION) and PCI in TAVI candidates (PRO-TAVI)
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews recent evidence impacting the management of structural heart disease, focusing on left atrial appendage (LAA) closure indications and PCI considerations in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) candidates. It discusses optimal strategies for coronary artery disease in TAVI patients and evaluates findings from the...
A critical appraisal of the recent evidence in the LAA closure field
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session critically appraises recent evidence in the left atrial appendage (LAA) closure field, focusing on landmark trials such as CHAMPION-AF and CLOSURE AF. It discusses how these findings may influence patient selection and clinical practice, offering guidance on integrating new evidence into decision-making for stroke...
Bleeding and thrombotic risk in LAA closure patients
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session provides a thorough examination of bleeding and thrombotic risks in patients undergoing left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. It reviews risk factors for device-related thrombosis, compares anticoagulation strategies post-procedure, and presents real-world clinical outcomes, particularly in high bleeding risk populations and special groups such as...
