Imaging to the rescue in LAA closure

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session highlights the pivotal role of advanced imaging modalities in left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. Topics include novel risk assessment workflows for air embolism, evaluation protocols using cardiac CT and 3D TEE, reproducibility of anatomical classifications, and long-term follow-up outcomes with various imaging techniques.

Navigating the complexity of high bleeding risk

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Focusing on patients with high bleeding risk undergoing PCI, this session presents contemporary evidence on prevalence, procedural strategies with different stent types, antiplatelet therapy considerations including diabetic and sex-specific outcomes, and novel technologies such as sirolimus-coated balloons and machine learning models for restenosis prediction.

When the angiogram shows no answer for your AMI patient: what's next?

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on non-occlusive causes of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) when angiograms do not reveal clear pathology. It emphasizes the diagnostic value of intracoronary imaging for conditions such as MINOCA and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), and discusses optimal treatment strategies and prognostic considerations.

Stentless PCI, DCB and BVS in complex scenarios

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the use of stentless percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) employing drug-coated balloons (DCB) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BVS) in complex coronary scenarios. Through detailed case discussions, it addresses decision-making processes, technical considerations, and practical tips for successfully completing PCI without permanent stenting.

Post-dilation from contralateral access site for nose cone entrapment during self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve implantation

07 Sep 2021

View this successful case with bail-out post-dilation for modifying nose cone entrapment due to stent frame infolding.

Atrial flow regulator implantation through atrial septal defect of previous mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: bailout strategy

30 Jun 2025

Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) has reshaped the prognosis for heart failure patients with secondary mitral regurgitation, but recurrence remains a real challenge when surgical options are off the table.

This case highlights an innovative use of an atrial flow regulator (AFR) to manage elevated left atrial...

Interatrial shunt after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair

SMT’s Supraflex Cruz shows consistent and robust clinical outcomes across key global studies presented at TCT 2025

Drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology: A pioneer’s view of the historical evolution and future directions

08 Jan 2025

In this article, Bruno Scheller explores advances in local drug delivery, from drug-coated balloons to novel antiproliferative agents. These innovations aim to reduce restenosis, minimize permanent implants, and pave the way for patient-specific coronary artery disease treatments.
