This session reviews emerging transcatheter mitral valve devices and their clinical applications. Topics include managing recurrent mitral regurgitation with combined ELASTA-Clip and TMVR approaches, TMVR use in elderly patients, surgical perspectives on device selection, multimodal percutaneous strategies for functional mitral regurgitation, and TMVR as a novel...

This session presents critical case analyses of complicated TAVI procedures, highlighting unexpected and severe intra-procedural events such as annular perforation, leaflet modification complications, coronary obstructions, and device failures. It emphasizes prevention strategies, bailout techniques, and acute management to prepare clinicians for handling TAVI-related emergencies effectively.

This session addresses critical interventions in cardiogenic shock, highlighting innovative approaches such as combined valve procedures, management of acute functional mitral regurgitation in STEMI, and advanced transcatheter edge-to-edge repair techniques in refractory heart failure. It offers a comprehensive exploration of strategies to navigate complex hemodynamic instability...

This session examines the feasibility and technical considerations of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in complex anatomical and pathological scenarios. Topics include applications in Barlow's disease, fibro-elastic deficiency, congenital heart anomalies, Anderson-Fabry disease, and post-cardiac transplantation, providing valuable insights into expanding TEER indications and overcoming anatomical...

Study the case of this 78-year-old male patient to understand why and how HPG may be important when measuring FFR in patients with CAD, as its height may influence the height of different FFR measurements, and, therefore, the patient management.

The data from this study suggest that, from a SoMe perspective, correct Impella orientation is often overlooked, and that Impella malrotation is a common issue in real-world clinical practice, potentially associated with relevant complications. 

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the FULL REVASC trial which was presented at ACC.24 in Atlanta and published Simultaneously in NEJM.

The FULL REVASC trial is a multicentre registry-based randomised control trial comparing FFR-guided complete revascularisation of non-culprit lesions versus culprit lesion PCI alone in patients presenting...
