The authors present a case of PCI for left main trunk bifurcation divided by a flap-like structure in a 67-year-old man suffering from effort angina, in which they successfully used a novel tracking technique by modifying the reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde tracking (CART), which they called...

Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures are dramatically increasing in daily practice. Calcified coronary artery lesions and hostile cardiac anatomy may increase the risk of device dislodgment and/or malposition. In such situations, the use of a snare catheter is pivotal to retrieve and/or reposition the device.

Thank you to the thousands of cardiologists and healthcare professionals whose contribution to the website provides the community with a valuable, free resource of education in cardiovascular interventions - this embodies the By and For that sets PCRonline apart! Thanks to you, over half a million...

In challenging anatomies, the Prostyle may get stuck due to calcification, leading to urgent vascular surgery and increasing the operative risk for the patients. This tutorial shows a step-by-step bailout procedure to mitigate risks and ensure patient safety.

Did you know that neoatherosclerosis (in the context of in-stent restenosis (ISR)) can suffer dissection, just like any native coronary artery, when balloon dilatation is performed?

A 56-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis underwent transapical TAVR in 2012. In 2017, the patient was referred for exertion dyspnea and transesophageal echocardiogram showed severe stenosis of the bioprosthesis...

The origin of circumflex from the main RCA has a reported incidence of 0.37 %. Here are two very unusual cases of an anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the proximal RCA, one of them with inferior STEMI and VT.

See the case of a 76-year-old female patient with mitral valve repair 10 years prior found to have incomplete surgically ligated left atrial appendage, who was referred for closure.

What was new and hot in interventional cardiology at ESC Congress 2019!

The coronary arteries arise from the aortic sinuses. Read more...

View this case of a 60-year-old male with hypertension as a modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. A history of thoracic surgery for a gunshot wound 40 years ago and no cardiovascular history.

Andreas Grüntzig’s vision and perspicacity drove an entire new field of cardiology. This page is dedicated to his personal life and accomplishments with a dedicated tribute from Spencer B. King III

This manuscript examines Impella single access technique, which provides a case example of the central role social media can play in the introduction of a new interventional approach.

This Image in Interventional Cardiology highlights how patient-specific ex vivo simulations offer physicians the opportunity to observe and evaluate the potential in vivo impact of different techniques particularly for complex structural heart interventions.

Each year at EuroPCR, the Andreas Grüntzig Ethica Award – the highest honour in the interventional cardiology community – is presented to individuals who have contributed in an extraordinary way to the PCR mission. This year, as we celebrate 30 years of primary PCI in STEMI,...

Hypertension is the number one cause of years of life lost, and, perhaps more importantly, years of healthy living lost. It causes at least half of all heart attacks and strokes and is the major driver of heart failure.

How do you navigate the complexities of performing TAVI on aortas previously treated for coarctation surgery, while ensuring patient safety through meticulous planning and expert precision? Analyse this image to find out more!

Impella CP microaxial flow pump supports complete revascularisation during high-risk PCI, but standard implantation often leads to vascular complications. This article explores an initial experience with a sheathless implantation technique, which shows promise as a feasible and safe alternative.

View the case of this 65-year-old male patient who was staged for R-PCI of a Medina 1,1,1 distal left main lesion, and discover how the authors used a hybrid robotic and manual approach to perform a DK crush procedure using the second-generation R-PCI device.
