When ECMO is used in complex pulmonary embolism
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Examine the critical role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in managing complex pulmonary embolism cases. This session covers ECMO-supported interventions for central pulmonary artery occlusions, combined treatments including thrombectomy, and unique cases such as right atrial thrombus complications and pioneering ECMO-supported thrombo-embolectomy procedures.
Leaflet modification techniques during TAVI
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores leaflet modification techniques during TAVI, focusing on complex valve-in-valve procedures supported by artificial intelligence-powered planning and advanced imaging. Case discussions cover challenges such as low valve-to-coronary distances, bi-leaflet obstruction, and strategies to maintain coronary flow and hemodynamic stability.
Pulmonary valve: the next frontier in adult structural interventions
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights the evolving role of the pulmonary valve in adult structural interventions. It reviews complex transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) cases, strategies for managing challenging right ventricular outflow tract anatomies, and percutaneous solutions for pulmonary artery stenosis and related complications.
ISCHEMIA-CKD EXTEND: revascularization does not improve outcomes at 5 years in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
29 Aug 2022
Panagiotis Xaplanteris reports on the ISCHEMIA-CKD EXTEND trial results - clinical outcomes at 5 years of follow-up, which were presented during the ESC 2022 congress in Barcelona.

When transfemoral TAVI is not an option: rethinking alternative access strategies
18 Jun 2026
In this article, Ulrich Schäfer explores the evolving landscape of access strategies in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the transfemoral approach remains the gold standard, a significant proportion of patients are not suitable due to peripheral vascular disease or anatomical constraints.
Drawing on clinical evidence and...
