An 82-year-old male with a history of STEMI in 2013, stroke in 2018, cancer, and permanent AF, presented with acute heart failure with predominant right-side failure. Severe tricuspid regurgitation was identified.
The operators implanted an Evoque valve percutaneously under TEE guidance and general anaesthesia via the venous...

An 84-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus, frailty (5/6), preserved LV function, and aortic stenosis previously treated with CoreValve 26 mm in 2016, presented with symptomatic degenerative stenosis of the valve.
A Sapien 3 (23 mm) was implanted without predilatation but with post-dilatation under general anaesthesia, using cerebral...

The European Bifurcation Club Left Main (EBC MAIN) trial addressed the issue of provisional single stent versus upfront double stenting in 467 patients with true bifurcation distal left main disease. 

So far, only one other randomized trial, DKCRUSH-V (n=482), has addressed the same research question, showing better...

Balloon entrapment in valvuloplasty can be life-threatening, especially after balloon rupture. Learn about a new technique involving balloon internalisation and safety snares for successful retrieval and sheath upsizing.

Intravascular imaging is a cornerstone of invasive management of coronary disease, requiring specialized training to interpret either IVUS or OCT. AI can facilitate interpretation by non-specialists in real time.

PROSPECT II, COMBINE (OCT–FFR) and PROSPECT ABSORB trials were presented at TCT Connect 2020. Hector Garcia-Garcia provides a summary of the key messages.

In collaboration with EuroIntervention Journal

The authors decided to create a survey tailored for ICTs in order to assess the changes in their training. Capturing the essence of the responses may help to identify the most appropriate strategies to provide the highest standards and skills achievements in COVID-19...

Authored by Hector Garcia-Garcia and Jorge Sanz-Sanchez, this article examines pivotal randomized clinical trials on drug-coated balloons in coronary artery disease. It highlights their role in managing in-stent restenosis, de novo small vessel lesions, and large vessel lesions while exploring future directions through ongoing trials.
