This session highlights the latest innovations in structural and valvular cardiology, featuring novel technologies such as a new self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve for aortic stenosis treatment and a temporary atrioventricular sequential pacing system. It also discusses non-clinical testing methodologies supporting U.S. market approvals, non-invasive ultrasound therapy...

Discover cutting-edge innovations in vascular therapies highlighting novel technologies such as Pulse Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) for calcium modification and Amplitude Vascular Systems. The session also presents drug-free restenosis control strategies via CD31 camouflage coating promoting physiological-grade healing, emphasizing emerging solutions aimed at improving vascular intervention outcomes.

This session provides a comprehensive guide to large-bore venous access and vessel closure techniques, emphasizing best practices and the advantages of ultrasound-guided suture mediated vessel closure compared to traditional figure-of-eight suture methods. It also addresses strategies to avoid and manage potential complications encountered during these procedures.

Examine diverse clinical scenarios and management strategies for aortic paravalvular leaks (PVL), including complex percutaneous closures post-TAVI and surgical interventions. This session presents challenging cases demonstrating varied presentations and approaches such as mechanical valve loop utilization, highlighting the complexities and tailored solutions required for successful PVL...

Aaysha Cader and Ali Nazmi Calik provide their take on the BHF PROTECT-TAVI trial, presented by Rajesh Kharbanda at ACC.25 in Chicago.

Paris, France, 20-23 May 2025. The EuroPCR Course Directors have selected 3 major late-breaking trials that will be presented for the first time during the 2025 edition of EuroPCR. These trials were selected because of their design, results, and potential to impact practice, among which is the...

Nicola Ryan provides her take on this investigator initiated, multicentre, randomised, blinded, sham controlled trial compares clinical outcomes of QFR versus angiography guided strategies for the treatment of non-critical lesions in patients with stable or unstable angina or MI at least 72 hours prior to screening....

Nicola Ryan provides a PICOT analysis of PACMAN AMI: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial presented at ACC 2022 and simultaneously published in JAMA.

Large-bore femoral access closure remains a critical step in transfemoral TAVI, where access-site complications can significantly impact outcomes.

This My Toolkit article presents a step-by-step tutorial on a combined suture- and plug-based closure strategy using one ProStyle™ and one Angio-Seal®. The technique aims to achieve rapid, reliable...
