This educational session offers comprehensive guidance on transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve procedures for degenerated bioprosthetic mitral valves. Key learning points include valve sizing considerations, transeptal access techniques, and procedural steps distinct from standard transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), supported by detailed imaging analysis and a live case...

This educational session focuses on complex non-left main bifurcation lesions, highlighting the importance of intracoronary imaging to understand lesion anatomy and complexity. It provides detailed guidance on selecting optimal stenting strategies and demonstrates a step-by-step provisional stenting approach through a live case from Apollo Hospitals, Chennai,...

This session presents a live educational case from the National University Heart Centre, Singapore, focusing on complex distal left main bifurcation PCI. It highlights strategic planning, the critical role of intravascular imaging in optimizing outcomes, and approaches to treat left main in-stent restenosis caused by under-expansion.
