Marie-Claude Morice and Davide Capodanno meet to discuss antiplatelet treatment in HBR patients.
In the past, a short DAPT with regular regimen was recommended for these patients, but it is now much more elaborated, as a standardized nomenclature has been established, proposing 3 types of escalation for...
ABCs on how to decrease radiation exposure
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Madji Saada, James Nolan and Ariel Roguin describe radiation in the cathlab before setting out the basic rules to follow to be protected against it.
The cathlab is potentially the most irradiating environment in which a healthcare professional can work and, over a long period, it can...
What is the role of imaging and physiology in complex bifurcation PCI?
Gabor Toth and Mariano Pellicano share some thoughts and perspectives on the role of coronary physiology and imaging in complex bifurcation PCI.
While physiology is an invaluable aid in understanding the functional relevance of a stenosis or circumflex bifurcation, imaging is a fantastic tool for understanding anatomy, for monitoring...
Ultra-thin strut stenting to manage challenges in STEMI
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Dilip Kumar and Praveen Chandra discuss the issues and nuances in the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, with a particular focus on the use of ultra-thin strut stents in the treatment of primary angioplasty, or primary STEMI treatment.

Who are eligible patients for transcatheter mitral valve replacement?
05 Dec 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
While surgical mitral valve replacement or repair and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) are two well established techniques, Alison Duncan and Lenard Conradi explore the place that transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) now holds.
They describe how and why patients who, for clinical reasons, are not suitable candidates...
Contemporary surgical & transcatheter treatment options for severe aortic regurgitation patients
05 Dec 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Two cardiac surgeons, Hendrik Treede and Michael Reardon, and an echo specialist, Joao Cavalcante, have been invited to share their views on aortic regurgitation management.
So far, surgery remains the gold standard, and they explain why, by also comparing repair and replacement, before discussing the challenge that...
How to manage paravalvular leaks?
04 Jan 2024 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Invited to talk about paravalvular leaks, Grzegorz Smolka, Patrick Calvert and Xavier Freixa begin by placing the subject in context, mentioning the frequency with which it is encountered in general practice.
Then, they distinguish between patients likely to benefit from paravalvular leak closure via transcatheter and those...
Imaging essentials for mitral valve interventions: pre, peri & post-procedure
18 Jan 2024 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Marta Sitges, Victoria Delgado and Edwin Ho discuss imaging essentials for mitral interventions. They start with an analysis of the most important pre-procedural imaging modalities, reflecting on the role of both TOE and TEE. As for the intra-procedural imaging, they focus on the key skills that...
20 years of TEER: what have we learned and where are we going?
05 Dec 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Bernard Prendergast reviews the history of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with Francesco Maisano and Azeem Latib, from its earliest beginnings to its future. They look back at the difficulties encountered, the way these were overcome, so that the technique could finally emerge and be accepted,...
Current strategies for surgical and transcatheter tricuspid valve repair and replacement
05 Dec 2023 – From PCR London Valves 2023
Watch this roundtable discussion between Julien Dreyfus, Lenard Conradi and Philipp Lurz to learn more about the latest developments in tricuspid regurgitation treatment.
