17 Feb 2024 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2024
In this group discussion, several heart teams present their work on complex cases of tricuspid valve interventions and explore the results of their collaboration in order to figure out adequate management for invasive treatments.
Managing aortic stenosis in patients with longer life expectancy
18 Feb 2024 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2024
Consult this session to understand what knowledge is needed for discussions with patients concerning lifetime management of valve disease, gain insight into the importance of predictable and precise commissural and coronary alignment for lifetime management, and learn about the indication of TAV-in-TAV and THV explant.
Tricuspid valve interventions
18 Feb 2024 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2024
Consult this session if you want to understand T-TEER/TTVR procedure, learn about clinical indication and appropriate patient selection for TEER/TTVR based on TRILUMINATE trial/TRISCEND study, and update your knowledge of current transcatheter technologies for tricuspid regurgitation.
Challenging situations in mitral valve interventions
18 Feb 2024 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2024
This selection of cases showcases a number of challenging situations in mitral valve interventions and how best to resolve them. Among such complications are a severe afterload mismatch following M-TEER in functional mitral regurgitation, a detached clip in the left atrium, and more.
Rapid-fire - Outcome studies after valvular intervention
18 Feb 2024 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2024
This session of rapid-fire submitted cases focuses on outcome studies after valvular intervention. Learn about clinical impacts of cerebral micro-bleeds in patients undergoing TAVI, explore the long-term outcomes of Venus P valve for dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract, and more!
Calcified left main distal trifurcation PCI - LIVE Case
30 Jan 2026 – From SASCI-AfricaPCR
A 48‑year‑old man with hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented with a recent history of thrombolysed anterior acute MI and preserved left ventricular function. Coronary angiography revealed a severely calcified ostial LAD and ostial ramus lesion, along with diffuse disease of the RCA.
The ramus was treated with...
Left main and LAD bifurcation - LIVE Case
30 Jan 2026 – From SASCI-AfricaPCR
A 59‑year‑old man with a history of STEMI in 2019 (Cx PCI), as well as hypertension and dyslipidemia, presented with CCS class III angina. Coronary angiography revealed a chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the OM2 and a calcified ostial lesion of the LAD and first diagonal...
SURTAVI: five-year results from a randomized trial of TAVR vs. SAVR in patients at intermediate surgical risk
07 Nov 2021
Although TAVI is an accepted alternative to surgery in patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high surgical risk, less is known about long-term comparative outcomes among patients with aortic stenosis who are at intermediate surgical risk. P. Redaelli & M. Pighi review the SURTAVI trial...

BRIGHT-4 – Bivalirudin plus a high-dose infusion versus heparin monotherapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a randomised trial
07 Nov 2022
Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BRIGHT-4 study, which was presented during AHA 2022 in Chicago, & simultaneously published in the Lancet.
This study was a randomised control trial designed to assess if bivalirudin plus a high dose infusion for 2-4 hours post PPCI was superior to unfractionated...
