This session from Eastern cardiology centers addresses complex interventional challenges including recurrent left internal mammary artery (LIMA) failure, management of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) complications, and treatment of heavily calcified coronary lesions. Through detailed case presentations and key learnings, it offers valuable insights into successful...

A 65-year-old female with obesity, diabetes mellitus, a history of stroke, atrial fibrillation, and RBBB on ECG, presented with symptomatic aortic stenosis and two-vessel coronary disease (OM and LAD, QFR: 0.70). Echocardiography and CT showed normal LV function (55%), a small annulus (370 mm²), and a...

This session addresses the clinical considerations surrounding iatrogenic atrial septal defects (ASDs) resulting from transseptal procedures. It covers prevention of residual defects, diagnostic evaluation, criteria for closure, procedural timing, and management strategies for related complications, supported by illustrative clinical cases demonstrating decision-making nuances.

This session highlights acute and urgent complications following TAVI implantation, including myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and challenging catheterization scenarios. It provides detailed case analyses illustrating the limits of TAVI procedures and the critical importance of prompt recognition and intervention in adverse events, enhancing clinician preparedness for...

Prepare to establish a successful tricuspid TEER programme by understanding essential components such as systematic echocardiographic and clinical assessments for patient selection, procedural fundamentals, and programme development supported by clinical evidence.

This session focuses on optimizing patient selection for tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in 2026. It integrates anatomical, haemodynamic, and clinical criteria to identify ideal candidates, explores evolving treatment boundaries between TEER, transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), and medical management, and applies evidence from key trials...

Consult the references associated to the clinical research and case reports in coronary guidewire loss complications.

An 80-year-old man underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with a bare-metal stent for severe stenosis at proximal left anterior descending coronary artery 13 years ago. In-stent restenosis was treated by a drug-eluting stent 1 year later...

An 84-year-old man with arterial hypertension and previous hepatocellular carcinoma was admitted to our Emergency Department for new onset of exertional angina (CCS 3). The patient had a history of three-vessel coronary artery disease treated by complete surgical revascularization in 2007...

Watch this EuroIntervention image to learn how the collision of a TAV device during valve crossing in ViV TAVI can potentially cause instability or dehiscence of the sutureless bioprosthesis, contributing to severe poorly tolerated PVL.

Lars Wallentin and Stefan James received the Andreas Grüntzig Ethica Award during EuroPCR 2025, on behalf of a wider team of cardiovascular registry experts who have contributed in an extraordinary way to the PCR mission. 

EuroPCR – the 2023 edition – has been prepared with a new Core Team. Indeed, Jean Fajadet and William Wijns invited three new Course Directors to join them in this role at the end of last year. It was all part of a general reorganisation of PCR’s structure, during...

Kalaivani Mahadevan and Fizzah Choudry provide their take on DAPT-SHOCK-MI presented by Zuzana Motovska at ESC Congress 2025 in Madrid.
