Explore the critical role of intracoronary imaging in diagnosing and managing coronary dissections and related complications. Through case studies, learn about bailout strategies and the domino effect of decisions during PCI in acute myocardial infarction.

Celebrate the finalists of PCR's Got Talent Round 3, showcasing innovative clinical skills and novel approaches in interventional cardiology. Witness the culmination of emerging talent shaping the future of cardiology practice.

This session offers comprehensive multi-modality assessment of coronary disease, integrating advanced imaging and functional testing. Topics include diagnostic yield of OCT and cardiac MRI for MINOCA, transitioning coronary plaque vulnerability assessment from invasive to non-invasive methods, relationships between QFR and IVUS post-PCI in complex lesions, combined...

• Multi-modality simulation to unveil the hidden parts & small obstacles that can result in complications

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.

When standard catheters and wires repeatedly fail to cross a severely stenotic aortic valve, a simple modification of readily available equipment may provide a solution.

This step-by-step tutorial explains how to create and use a self-made steerable catheter system to facilitate valve crossing in complex TAVI anatomies.

Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on OPTION, which was presented during AHA 2022 in Chicago.

Transcatheter interventions have rapidly reshaped the management of tricuspid valve disease, with landmark trials establishing feasibility and early clinical benefit.

Beyond these pivotal studies, a series of less visible but highly informative papers addressed mechanisms, complications, patient phenotypes, and unintended consequences of intervention.

This curated selection highlights ten impactful tricuspid...

Daniele Giacoppo reports and provides his perspective on the main results of the ambitious NEOMINDSET trial, presented by Pedro Lemos from the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, São Paulo, Brazil, during a Late Breaking Trials session at the ESC Congress 2025 in Madrid, and simultaneously published in the New...
