Management of bifurcations with complex anatomy - Part 1
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session addresses the management of bifurcations with complex anatomy through a series of challenging case studies. It features a traumatic coronary artery dissection, anomalous right coronary artery PCI, CTO interventions complicated by proximal dissection, double CTO PCI for complete revascularization, and a challenging calcified left...
How to address the problem of calcified left main lesions
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Gain expert perspectives on addressing calcified left main coronary lesions in high-risk and complex clinical scenarios. This session features challenging cases including ACS patients with reduced LVEF, severe calcified stenosis of left main bifurcation, complex PCI in post-CABG octogenarians with rotablation under Impella support, and other...
Management of challenging TAVI device delivery
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore innovative solutions for managing challenging TAVI device delivery. This session presents cases involving kinked and stuck Navitor valves, the use of snare devices for retrieval, balloon-expandable TAVI in severe bicuspid aortic stenosis, and alternative access routes such as transaortic access after failed transfemoral valve-in-valve procedures.
A central role for cardiac imaging in transcatheter LAA closure
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Discover the central role of cardiac imaging in transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. This session covers sealing techniques, advances in cardiac tomography for assessing LAA wall thickness, fusion of 3D computational modeling with fluoroscopy guidance, device healing evaluation through early serial imaging, and complex cases...
Navigating complexity: TAVI in challenging anatomies
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Navigate the complexities of TAVI in challenging anatomies. This session reviews anatomical variations such as horizontal aorta, iliofemoral tortuosity, low coronary ostia, bicuspid valves, and annular eccentricity, alongside preprocedural imaging and risk stratification. It further evaluates device selection and procedural adaptations essential for successful TAVI in...
Optimal SCAD treatment
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Navigate the complexities of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) treatment through clinical case discussions. This session explores identifying the culprit lesion, recurrent ACS challenges, the conservative versus PCI treatment dilemma, and real-world presentation scenarios emphasizing decision-making in SCAD management.
