These case studies highlight diagnostic complexities and therapeutic strategies essential for...
Challenging cases from the East
10 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session from Eastern cardiology centers addresses complex interventional challenges including recurrent left internal mammary artery (LIMA) failure, management of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) complications, and treatment of heavily calcified coronary lesions. Through detailed case presentations and key learnings, it offers valuable insights into successful...
TAVI in small annulus - LIVE Case
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
A 65-year-old female with obesity, diabetes mellitus, a history of stroke, atrial fibrillation, and RBBB on ECG, presented with symptomatic aortic stenosis and two-vessel coronary disease (OM and LAD, QFR: 0.70). Echocardiography and CT showed normal LV function (55%), a small annulus (370 mm²), and a...
Precision without a scaffold - When, why and how to use DCB in de novo lesions
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session provided an in-depth examination of drug-coated balloon (DCB) use in de novo coronary lesions, emphasizing patient selection, lesion preparation, and procedural technique. Clinical evidence and real-world cases illustrated when and why DCBs represent a precise alternative to stenting, particularly in small vessels, high bleeding...
Mastering techniques from basic to complex - Tricuspid TEER fundamentals
13 Feb 2026 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2026
Gain foundational knowledge in tricuspid TEER by understanding anatomical criteria for patient suitability, key procedural steps, and device techniques, enhanced by simulation-based procedural training.
Bubble trouble: aortic air embolization and de-embolization during coronary angiography
09 Aug 2021
Air embolism (AE) is a rare complication during interventional procedures and one of the most scaring for interventional cardiologists. Air bubbles in the coronary circulation often result in ischemic symptoms, vasospasm, and even cardiac arrest. In addition, arrhythmias are common and closely related to the coronary ...
