Identifying problems and solving complex anatomies during TAVI

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

A comprehensive session on managing complex anatomies during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), emphasizing risk markers for peri-operative complications and strategies to address difficult anatomical challenges. Real-world cases illustrate practical approaches and key learnings for handling intricate TAVI scenarios.

Complication management in CTO PCI - Part 1

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses complication management during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions. It covers strategies for unexpected coronary complications, managing tamponade without visible perforation, rescue techniques for atherectomy-related perforations, managing dry pericardial tamponade after septal branch perforation, and challenges when retrograde approaches encounter thrombosis in...

Angiography-based physiology: time to change your routine clinical practice?

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session offers a critical appraisal of angiography-based physiology, with a focus on virtual fractional flow reserve (vFFR) technology. It reviews the latest clinical evidence, including insights from the FAST study programme and the FAST III randomised controlled trial. Gain a clear understanding of current guideline...

When balloons fail: how to win against coronary calcium

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session refines strategies to overcome undilatable calcified coronary lesions by integrating modern calcium-modification technologies into complex PCI workflows. Through multiple international case studies, it highlights approaches to achieve optimal stent expansion despite severe coronary calcium challenges.

CHOICE-CLOSURE: a randomized trial of plug-based versus suture-based large-bore vascular closure

06 Nov 2021

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 to perform angiographic check after large-sheath removal in single access procedures

18 Mar 2024

In the absence of other arterial access, this step-by-step tutorial shows how to perform anterograde angiography of the arterial axis after removal of the large sheath, making it easier to recognise and rapidly manage vascular complications such as arterial lesions and haemostasis failure.
