Optimising CTO outcomes by lesion selection
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Optimize chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI outcomes through lesion selection strategies. This session reviews coronary calcium patterns via CT, target vessel considerations, distal vessel remodeling, imaging-guided versus conventional approaches, and complex lesion cases.
A simple low profile solution to the pulmonary embolism problem: EKOS
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Discover a streamlined approach to pulmonary embolism treatment in this EuroPCR 2025 session. Learn how ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis improves right ventricular function and pulmonary perfusion while enabling timely reperfusion with low-dose thrombolytic therapy delivered directly to the clot. Explore the latest data from the HI-PEITHO randomised trial...
TAVI in patients with a small annulus
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Address the unique challenges of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with small aortic annuli. This session discusses comparative outcomes of balloon-expandable versus self-expandable valves, size prediction methodologies, and management of paravalvular regurgitation in low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis cases.

A new meta-analysis supports elective revascularization and medical therapy for reducing cardiac death
18 May 2021
The ISCHEMIA trial found no significant difference between an invasive vs. a conservative strategy in patients with chronic coronary syndromes and moderate to severe ischemia at a mean of 3.2 years. However, the cumulative difference in the estimates of cardiac death between the invasive and conservative...
