This session introduces new frontiers in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), including artificial intelligence-enabled systems and minimalist, radiation-free approaches guided by echocardiography. It covers complex procedural techniques such as axillary access under TEE guidance, precision snaring, and managing challenging anatomies, emphasizing advancements in safety and efficacy...

This comprehensive session reviews registries and clinical trials in mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). It includes discussions on novel TEER systems, international consensus on PASCAL implants, anatomical predictors of procedural success, and long-term outcomes including ventricular and atrial remodeling after intervention, as well as emerging therapies...

This session explores the role of artificial intelligence in imaging and the cathlab, emphasizing computer vision applications distinct from language models. It discusses AI's integration into procedural planning and guidance, balancing algorithmic support with physician judgement to enhance interventional cardiology workflows.

This session emphasizes critical imaging aspects necessary for assessing calcified coronary lesions. It addresses lesion-specific Agatston scoring, OCT-guided PCI optimization, coronary CT planning, histopathological insights, and predictors of stent underexpansion after calcium modification.

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...

Paris, France, 14-17 May 2024. The Course Directors have selected 3 major Late Breaking Trials (LBTs) that were presented for the first time during the 2024 edition of EuroPCR. These trials were selected on account of their design, outcomes and potential to influence daily clinical practice....

Alex Sticchi & Jonathan Curio provide their take on the clinical trial presented by Gregg W. Stone at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions (ACC.23/WCC).

Analyze this EIJ image to see how surgical aortic bioprostheses with expandable ring technology can significantly enhance future ViV procedures.

Jonathan Curio provides his take on the MitrAI score study which was presented by Luigi Biasco at ESC Congress 2024 in London.

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...

Daniele Giacoppo and Nicola Ammirabile provide their take on the main results of the HOST-BR trial, presented by Hyo-Soo Kim at ACC.25 in Chicago.

Make the most of the insights from Jacob Thomsen Loenborg’s interview with Chiara De Biase and Ali Nazmi Calik’s article to capture the key takeaways from this trial, simultaneously published in the NEJM, presented at the ESC Congress 2024 in London.

Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on the EVOLVED trial presented by Marc Dweck at TCT 2024 in Washington.

In this article, Ulrich Schäfer explores the evolving landscape of access strategies in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the transfemoral approach remains the gold standard, a significant proportion of patients are not suitable due to peripheral vascular disease or anatomical constraints.
Drawing on clinical evidence and...
