Delve into the critical aspects of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock, focusing on device selection, assessment of persistent congestion, and the application of unloading tools to improve patient management and outcomes.

This session addresses the common barriers to effective cathlab training and offers a structured approach to building a functional training program tailored to your team's needs. Emphasis is placed on sustainable training models, teamwork, and evaluation methods to ensure competency development and continuous improvement in interventional...

Exploring the interplay between inflammation and cardiovascular risk, this session reviews contemporary research on residual risk post-PCI, inflammatory markers in coronary artery disease especially in type 2 diabetes and ACS, and prognostic tools including lipoprotein(a) and systemic inflammation indices.

This session examines modern risk prediction models in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It presents novel scoring systems, the prognostic significance of cardiac damage extent and progression, and the impact of multivalvular disease, enhancing patient stratification and outcome prediction.

An 80-year-old man underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with a bare-metal stent for severe stenosis at proximal left anterior descending coronary artery 13 years ago. In-stent restenosis was treated by a drug-eluting stent 1 year later...

Jonathan Curio provides his take on the MitrAI score study which was presented by Luigi Biasco at ESC Congress 2024 in London.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the ALIGN AR trial which was presented by Vinod H. Thourani at TCT Congress 2023. The Align AR trial is a prospective single-arm investigation device exemption study assessing the safety and efficacy of the Trilogy transcatheter heart valve system in patients with...

In this article, Ulrich Schäfer explores the evolving landscape of access strategies in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the transfemoral approach remains the gold standard, a significant proportion of patients are not suitable due to peripheral vascular disease or anatomical constraints.
Drawing on clinical evidence and...
