TAVR in challenging anatomies
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session focuses on navigating TAVR procedures in complex anatomical scenarios. It covers topics such as optimizing the position of a TAVR valve in a stentless bioprosthesis, managing an unexpected deep position of a TAVR implant, dealing with a completely radiolucent failing surgical bioprosthetic valve, and...
Non left main bifurcation - LIVE case
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
A 53-year-old male presented with a late STEMI one month ago. Coronary angiography revealed three-vessel disease: CX occlusion (culprit lesion), RCA bifurcation stenosis, and severe mid LAD-D1 (1-1-1) stenosis. The operators performed RCA PCI during the STEMI hospitalization.
In this live case, they performed the LAD-D1 bifurcation...
Hot topics in interventional management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session explores the latest insights and strategies for managing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. Key topics include identifying OHCA patients who may benefit from immediate cathlab admission, the default PCI strategy in OHCA, and how to organize an effective OHCA network. Discussions will cover estimating...

New evidence on TAVI from PCR Companions
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session features selected EuroPCR 2024 abstract submissions presenting the latest evidence on TAVI. Topics include device success in valve-in-valve TAVI, next-day discharge after TAVI, comparative network meta-analysis of PCI strategies in TAVI patients, factors associated with thrombosis treatment response, and outcomes of a novel balloon-expandable...
Feasibility of sheathless Impella for protected percutaneous coronary intervention: a single-center experience
02 May 2025
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.
