A Sapien 3 Ultra Resilia 23 valve was implanted under local anesthesia, with hemodynamic...

An 84-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus, frailty (5/6), preserved LV function, and aortic stenosis previously treated with CoreValve 26 mm in 2016, presented with symptomatic degenerative stenosis of the valve.
A Sapien 3 (23 mm) was implanted without predilatation but with post-dilatation under general anaesthesia, using cerebral...

A 53-year-old male with a history of advanced malignancy (lung adenoma) and mid LAD PCI last year, along with multiple risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and smoking), presented with angina and a positive stress test and CT. The angiography and CT showed significant left main stenosis...

An 82-year-old male with a history of STEMI in 2013, stroke in 2018, cancer, and permanent AF, presented with acute heart failure with predominant right-side failure. Severe tricuspid regurgitation was identified.
The operators implanted an Evoque valve percutaneously under TEE guidance and general anaesthesia via the venous...

Join us for a LIVE case followed by a recorded case highlighting advanced treatments for severe secondary mitral regurgitation:

• A 75-year-old man with permanent AF, a history of CABG, and symptomatic severe secondary MR (atrial and ischemic causes) with low LV function (45%) underwent mitral repair with...

This session delivers an in-depth exploration of left main coronary artery intervention, featuring a live educational case from the Mohammed Bin Khalifa Bin Salman Al Khalifa Specialist Cardiac Centre in Awali, Bahrain. Attendees gain insights into the pivotal role of computed tomography and intravascular imaging in...

Find out more about this technique that allows smooth and controlled navigation across the aortic arch along the inner curvature, facilitating the advancement and positioning of the delivery system, and avoiding unnecessary scraping of the aortic wall.

Advancing a transcatheter heart valve through the septostomy can be tricky, with the wire sometimes prolapsing into the left atrium.

This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates a simple yet effective maneuver that allows smooth, controlled navigation from the right atrium to the mitral position, ensuring precise valve deployment.

In this case report, we examine an advanced technique for renal denervation (RDN)—radiofrequency energy—employed to manage severe hypertension in patients with complex medical histories.

An elective right coronary artery PCI was scheduled in an 83-year-old gentleman. Due to the presence of severely diffuse and calcified disease, rotational atherectomy was decided, but the burr got entrapped in the severely calcified and tortuous proximal segment of the artery...

Thanks to this EIJ image, consider the case of a 46-year-old female patient who underwent a first aortic valve replacement at the age of 25, a second one 10 years later, together with a mitral valve replacement, and who presented with a displaced calcium spike from...

This image highlights the challenges of managing infective endocarditis (IE) and explores the potential role of transcatheter extraction devices in addressing unmet needs for patients who cannot undergo surgery.

An 80-year-old man underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with a bare-metal stent for severe stenosis at proximal left anterior descending coronary artery 13 years ago. In-stent restenosis was treated by a drug-eluting stent 1 year later...

TCT 2021: Radoslaw Parma reviews the CHOICE-CLOSURE multicentre, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial presented by Mohamed Abdel-Wahab. The study compared outcomes of percutaneous femoral artery closure using a plug-based and a primary suture-based strategy in patients undergoing TAVI.

How do you navigate the complexities of performing TAVI on aortas previously treated for coarctation surgery, while ensuring patient safety through meticulous planning and expert precision? Analyse this image to find out more!

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the ALIGN AR trial which was presented by Vinod H. Thourani at TCT Congress 2023. The Align AR trial is a prospective single-arm investigation device exemption study assessing the safety and efficacy of the Trilogy transcatheter heart valve system in patients with...

Alessandro Sticchi provides his take on the OPTION Trial presented at AHA 2024 in Chicago.

What’s the safest approach when surgical options are off the table? This real-life case shows how complex coronary revascularsation and TAVI were performed in a single session, supported by Impella.

Explore the rationale behind the sequence, the device choices, and the outcome in a high-risk patient with...
