Explore unconventional approaches to complex peripheral interventions through case studies involving pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, splenic aneurysms, vascular complications post maxillofacial surgery, and cyanosis in structurally normal hearts, emphasizing diagnostic and therapeutic ingenuity.

This session addresses paravalvular leak closure in transcatheter mitral valve replacement, exploring multiple plug techniques, complex leak management, and combined antegrade and retrograde approaches, providing nuanced insights into challenging mitral prosthesis complications.

Focus on life-threatening complications during CTO PCI with topics including rotational atherectomy challenges, interventricular septal puncture, surgical retrieval of fractured guidewires, and image-guided strategies for managing multivessel CTO complications, enhancing procedural safety.

This session shares unusual coronary complications including microcatheter tip entrapment, balloon shaft fracture, coronary balloon rupture salvage, and retained equipment retrieval, highlighting innovative solutions and procedural vigilance.

An 82-year-old male patient with a history of STEMI and diagonal PCI (2004) presented with stable angina (CCS 2). CT imaging revealed 2 severe LAD stenoses (at the ostium and mid part), and a severe bifurcation stenosis at the Cx/OM1 confirmed by angiography. A staged PCI...
