This session delivers a comprehensive overview of recent guideline changes in peripheral vascular disease and shares expert cardiologist experiences in various vascular interventions through case-based discussions. It also focuses on recognizing and managing peripheral vascular complications effectively to optimize patient outcomes.

This session addresses challenging STEMI scenarios with a focus on atypical presentations, complex complications, and advanced management strategies. Through diverse case discussions, it highlights approaches to overcome procedural difficulties, manage large thrombus burdens, and avoid clinical pitfalls in acute STEMI care.

An elective right coronary artery PCI was scheduled in an 83-year-old gentleman. Due to the presence of severely diffuse and calcified disease, rotational atherectomy was decided, but the burr got entrapped in the severely calcified and tortuous proximal segment of the artery...

Michele Pighi provides his take on the National Cardiovascular LAAO Registry that analyzed data from 51,333 patients who underwent LAAO procedures with the WATCHMAN device between 2016-2019, as part of the College's NCDR registries.

TCT 2021: Radoslaw Parma reviews the CHOICE-CLOSURE multicentre, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial presented by Mohamed Abdel-Wahab.
