This session addressed the complexities of left main PCI, focusing on managing hemodynamic uncertainty in high-risk interventions, advanced techniques such as ultra-low contrast rota-tripsy PCI, precise stent positioning, and pragmatic approaches to CHIP cases, emphasizing contrast-sparing strategies and best practice balancing.

This session explores the critical role of intracoronary imaging (ICI) in diagnosing and managing coronary artery dissections. Cases include fenestration techniques, stent migration challenges, polytrauma patient management, route selection dilemmas, and intricate procedural navigation to achieve successful outcomes.

Focusing on intracoronary imaging evaluation of stent implantation, this session presents serial OCT data on plaque characteristics and neoatherosclerosis post-STEMI, the clinical impact of stent malapposition in ACS, long-term apposition dynamics, factors influencing stent expansion in calcified lesions by NIRS-IVUS, and OCT insights into coronary artery...

This session explores the complex dilemmas in managing spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), focusing on decision-making between conservative treatment and intervention. It presents diverse clinical cases highlighting varying presentations including STEMI, young patients, and drug-induced complications, offering critical perspectives on tailored treatment strategies.

The present clinical case highlights some anatomical, functional, and devices-related features which may be used as red flag in the LAAO procedure planning due to prevent PA perforation, a rare but serious complication.

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...

Daniele Giacoppo reports the main results of the RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI trial presented by Joo-Yong Hahn, from the Heart Vascular Stroke Institute, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea, in a Late-Breaking Trial session at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2023 / World...

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 them is the...

Claudio Laudani and Daniele Giacoppo report the main results of the ILUMIEN IV trial presented by Ziad Ali, from the St. Francis Hospital, Roslyn, and Clinical Trials Center, Cardiovascular Research Foundation, New York, in a Hot Line session at the European Society of Cardiology congress 2023...
