Explore drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy through detailed case studies covering calcified vessels, small diffuse vessel disease, and de novo ostial lesions. Gain practical insights on treatment approaches and key learning points to enhance your DCB practice.

Advance your knowledge in TAVI with this session addressing sophisticated techniques, procedural timing, and problem-solving in complex cases. Explore TAVI applications in rare quadricuspid valve anatomy with pure aortic insufficiency, strategic decision-making between TAVI and PCI, and innovative solutions for managing aortic stenosis in patients with...

An 89-year-old male with hypertension, dyslipidemia, current smoking, stage III kidney disease, and a history of diagonal PCI in 2010 presented with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and a small annulus (410 mm²), with RBBB on ECG.

Via bilateral femoral access,...

This session delves into the role of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in advanced heart failure patients. Understand the indications for mitral TEER in severe left ventricular dysfunction, prognostic challenges in heart failure with severe mitral regurgitation, and review therapeutic alternatives including the pathway from TEER...

This session focuses on the challenges and strategies of redo TAVI, from careful planning to valve selection and tailored procedural approaches. Learn how to manage different valve platforms, optimise outcomes in valve-in-valve scenarios, and prevent complications such as coronary obstruction through real case discussions.

Find out more about a 77-year-old male patient with hypertension without good BP control, dyslipidaemia, Type II-DM, ex-smoker, who had triple CABG in 2006, EF 60% in 2017, and presented with dyspnea.

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 ...

SHARE is turning its attention to Mali in West Africa with a view to duplicating the Mauritanian experience. Find our more about how this NGO helps to save lives!

This image highlights the challenges of managing infective endocarditis (IE) and explores the potential role of transcatheter extraction devices in addressing unmet needs for patients who cannot undergo surgery.

In this article, Bruno Scheller explores advances in local drug delivery, from drug-coated balloons to novel antiproliferative agents. These innovations aim to reduce restenosis, minimize permanent implants, and pave the way for patient-specific coronary artery disease treatments.

Because of the current COVID-19 environment with an exponential development of ‘digital format of postgraduate learning events’, often on the same topics, it seems essential to remember the foundation of effective post graduate learning in the field of medicine, and how we...

EuroPCR – the 2023 edition – has been prepared with a new Core Team. Indeed, Jean Fajadet and William Wijns invited three new Course Directors to join them in this role at the end of last year. It was all part of a general reorganisation of PCR’s structure, during...

Lars Wallentin and Stefan James received the Andreas Grüntzig Ethica Award during EuroPCR 2025, on behalf of a wider team of cardiovascular registry experts who have contributed in an extraordinary way to the PCR mission. 

Fernando Alfonso and Javier Cuesta discuss the growing role of drug-coated balloons as an alternative to stents in percutaneous coronary interventions. Highlighting advantages like reduced in-stent restenosis, they emphasize the need for robust clinical studies to refine DCB use.
