TAVI procedural complications - Part 7: coronary protection, valve embolisation, and more
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses complex procedural complications in TAVI, featuring challenging cases such as rupture of the sinus of Valsalva, innovative bailouts for valve embolisation, mechanisms of aorta-right ventricular fistula post-TAVI, and management strategies for failed surgical aortic valves after endocarditis.
TAVI - Procedural strategy
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on procedural strategies for TAVI, examining the influence of coronary artery disease severity on PCI decision-making, revascularisation approaches in high-bleeding risk patients, the role of CT imaging and implant depth in procedural planning, and comparative evaluation of pre-dilatation versus direct valve implantation in...
Left main complications - Part 3
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews complex complications encountered in left main coronary interventions. It covers causes and management of acute left main occlusion, critical stenosis of coronary buttons, retrieval techniques for ostial stents, and strategies for managing challenging PCI scenarios that may precipitate or resolve catastrophic events.
Multivessel complications: what can go wrong
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights complications encountered in multivessel coronary interventions, presenting complex cases such as lost stents, coronary perforations, shaft fractures, early subacute stent thrombosis, and rare triple vessel thrombosis. It emphasizes practical management strategies for these challenging scenarios in contemporary interventional cardiology.
New evidence in coronary physiology for microvascular assessment
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights new evidence in coronary physiology related to microvascular assessment. Topics include endothelial dysfunction in angina with non-obstructive arteries, the prognostic value of microvascular resistance metrics, natural history studies, and trials aimed at standardizing management of microvascular dysfunction.
Bailout techniques for complications during primary PCI
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses bailout techniques during primary PCI complications. It covers a range of challenging scenarios such as coronary perforations and complex procedural issues, emphasizing rapid decision-making and effective treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes in high-stakes situations.
Best coronary complications
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
A collection of challenging coronary complication cases is presented, including management of stuck wires in calcific CTOs, complex PCI scenarios with unexpected twists, techniques for puncturing seals, and dealing with microaxial pump kinks, providing valuable lessons in complication management during interventional procedures.
In-stent restenosis: exploring novel solution for an old problem
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores innovative approaches to treating in-stent restenosis (ISR) with a focus on drug-coated balloons (DCB) and sirolimus or paclitaxel-eluting balloon catheters. It includes clinical outcomes from IVUS-guided procedures, cutting balloon angioplasty, comparisons between DCB and DES, and emerging machine learning tools to predict target-lesion...

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...
