When the anterior leaflet gets in the way: mitral leaflet modification before TMVR

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses the intricacies of mitral leaflet modification techniques prior to transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). It features innovative approaches such as LAMPOON-assisted valve-in-ring replacement, balloon-assisted leaflet translocation, and strategies to overcome the challenges posed by mitral annular calcification.

PCR's Got Talent Round 1 - Session 2

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

PCR's Got Talent Round 1 - Session 2 offers a diverse collection of studies addressing coronary microvascular dysfunction, atrial fibrillation management, TAVI outcomes, AI applications in imaging, mitral and tricuspid valve interventions, and in-stent restenosis treatment. The session culminates with deliberations and results announcements, reflecting cutting-edge...

How to face resistent hypertension: when pharmacological treatment is not an option

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Focused on resistant hypertension, this session explores interventional options when pharmacological treatments fall short. It discusses urgent intervention indications, complex cases involving renal artery occlusion, and the role of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in managing pan-vascular disease associated with hypertension.

FFR- and IVUS-guided PCI of a long and calcified LAD lesion - LIVE case

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

A 71‑year‑old man with hypertension and dyslipidemia presented with CCS class II angina and three‑vessel coronary artery disease. Functional assessment included CT‑derived micro‑FFR, angiography‑based FFR, and stress myocardial scintigraphy. The only hemodynamically significant lesion was a long, calcified lesion of the LAD.

Lesion preparation was performed with...

How to perform angiographic check after large-sheath removal in single access procedures

18 Mar 2024

In the absence of other arterial access, this step-by-step tutorial shows how to perform anterograde angiography of the arterial axis after removal of the large sheath, making it easier to recognise and rapidly manage vascular complications such as arterial lesions and haemostasis failure.
