What is the role of intra-coronary physiology and imaging to guide left main bifurcation PCI?
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
As Alejandro Travieso explains, physiology and imaging are complementary to achieve good assessment of left main PCI. Dejan Milasinovic adds that different imaging tools can be used in different patients, so practitioners may choose between OCT and IVUS, depending on their main target of interest.

What is the role of intra-coronary physiology in guiding complete revascularisation?
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Nicola Ryan and Roberto Diletti discuss strategies for complete revascularisation in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and more specifically patients presenting with STEMI and multivessel disease.

Implications of TRILUMINATE, a randomized clinical trial of transcatheter repair for tricuspid regurgitation
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Listen to Nicole Karam and Fabien Praz talk about the latest update from the TRILUMINATE study, the very first randomized trial conducted to determine how to improve the prognosis of tricuspid regurgitation.
To do so, the study aimed at comparing optimal medical treatment with interventions with edge-to-edge repair.
The content...
Latest on TAVI in complex bicuspid lesions
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
The bicuspid aortic valve is a real challenge in terms of diagnosis and treatment of patients, as discussed by Didier Tchétché and Raj Makkar in this interview.
Given that there are different phenotypes and patterns of calcification, some patients should indeed not be treated by TAVI: find out...
Should we perform revascularisation in patients with depressed left ventricle ejection fraction?
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Divaka Perera, main author of the REVIVED study, discusses the results of this trial with Flavio Ribichini.
REVIVE was a trial of severe ischaemic cardiomyopathy in which the primary outcome was death or heart failure hospitalization.The headline result was that there was absolutely no difference with PCI,...
What are the essential skillsets for aspiring transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair operators?
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Rebecca Hahn, interventional echocardiographer, and Sam Dawkins, interventional cardiologist, look at the skills a good fellow needs to become an excellent interventional cardiologist, particularly in relation to mitral interventions.
Mastery of imaging and the three-dimensional nature of the heart seems to be the key to success, but...
What is the best contemporary interventional management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest?
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Thomas Keeble and Marko Noc tackle the tricky question of how to deal with a patient with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
While STEMI patients should almost invariably go directly to the cathlab, the situation seems less clear-cut for non-ST-elevation patients, for whom a genuinely personalized approach needs to be proposed.
Study...
When to use drug coated balloons in de novo lesions?
What areas are most subject to drug-coated balloon angioplasty in de novo lesions? Fernando Alfonso and Robert Byrne provide some answers in this interview, in which they list the scenarios in which this technology appears attractive.
Small vessel disease, diffuse disease, STEMI, side-branches and patients at high-bleeding risk are...
When should we perform PCI for stable coronary artery disease in aortic stenosis, pre, post, never?
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
What is the evidence for the need for PCI in patients with stable coronary artery disease and severe aortic stenosis? Is invasive angiography always mandatory for these patients? What about CT scans? When exactly should PCI be performed?
These are the questions Vijay Kunadian and Martine Gilard...
