Join us for a LIVE case followed by a recorded case highlighting advanced treatments for severe secondary mitral regurgitation:

• A 75-year-old man with permanent AF, a history of CABG, and symptomatic severe secondary MR (atrial and ischemic causes) with low LV function (45%) underwent mitral repair with...

A 53-year-old male with a history of advanced malignancy (lung adenoma) and mid LAD PCI last year, along with multiple risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and smoking), presented with angina and a positive stress test and CT. The angiography and CT showed significant left main stenosis...

An 84-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus, frailty (5/6), preserved LV function, and aortic stenosis previously treated with CoreValve 26 mm in 2016, presented with symptomatic degenerative stenosis of the valve.
A Sapien 3 (23 mm) was implanted without predilatation but with post-dilatation under general anaesthesia, using cerebral...

A 77-year-old male with a history of SAVR in 2011 (Magna Ease 23) and moderate chronic kidney disease, with preservedLV function, presented with symptomatic severe aortic regurgitation and stenosis, associated with severe MR.

A Sapien 3 Ultra Resilia 23 valve was implanted under local anesthesia, with hemodynamic...

Consult the references associated to the clinical research and case reports in coronary guidewire loss complications.

The MAGSTEMI trial showed larger endothelium-independent vasodilatation with magnesium-based bioresorbable scaffolds (MgBRS) than with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES). However, restenosis was more frequent with MgBRS. The aims of this study were to compare the healing pattern between MgBRS and SES and to describe the main causes of...
