Navigating the Future of Cardiovascular Health through In-Depth Insights

Discover cutting-edge tricuspid interventions with PCR Focus Group publications, exploring the latest breakthroughs and techniques in cardiovascular care. Join us in advancing the frontier of cardiac health.

This study aims to compare the results of EST in patients reporting angina with those having non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA), against the reference standard of microvascular function.

Consult this session to understand what knowledge is needed for discussions with patients concerning lifetime management of valve disease, gain insight into the importance of predictable and precise commissural and coronary alignment for lifetime management, and learn about the indication of TAV-in-TAV and THV explant.

Consult this session to learn more about bailout techniques for TAVI during uncommon complications, such as late coronary obstruction post-TAVI, a migrated self-expandable valve, or a C-tab induced iatrogenic thoracic aortic dissection after Evolut FX implantation.

In this series of submitted cases, explore challenges and bailouts around tricuspid valve intervention and other forms of structural interventions. Learn about a percutaneous solution to acute traumatic pulmonary regurgitation, a rare complication of inadequate sealing caused by anchor slip through the fabric part in a...

The present analysis represents the largest comparison between surgical vs. percutaneous repair of mitral valve. 

On 16 September 1977, Andreas Gruntzig made history and changed the face of cardiology forever. Jean Marco and Chiara De Biase embark on a journey through the history of interventional cardiology...

In this interview, Chiara De Biase and Jean Marco embark on a journey through the history of interventional medicine, focusing on Charles Dotter, the pioneer of transluminal angioplasty, and Andreas Grüntzig.

In this first episode, they discuss Dotter's groundbreaking contributions, including the first interventional transluminal angioplasty in 1964, which revolutionized...

In this interview, Chiara De Biase and Jean Marco embark on a journey through the history of interventional medicine, focusing on Charles Dotter, the pioneer of transluminal angioplasty, and Andreas Grüntzig.

In this second episode, they highlight three key reasons for Charles Dotter's failure to spread his method widely in the...

In the second part of this rapid-fire session, we continue to focus on complex cases that might arise during TAVI, such as a case of prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis resulting in cardiogenic shock,  treatment of severe AR after infective endocarditis, and more!

In this episode, Chiara De Biase and Jean Marco discuss how Eberhard Zeitler, inspired by Dotter's work, introduced the method in Germany. Grüntzig, known for his solid medical background and empathetic demeanor, received crucial support from colleagues. His determination, teamwork, and commitment led to the development of a flexible...

In this final episode, Chiara De Biase and Jean Marco trace the journey of transluminal angioplasty from Charles Dotter in the US to Andreas Grüntzig in Europe. Grüntzig's vision was to apply balloon angioplasty to treat coronary artery stenosis, for which he defined clear goals and working axes....

The NOTION trial provides the first ten-year data comparing clinical outcomes and valve durability between TAVI and SAVR in the lower risk population.

Being a digital member of the PCR family of courses, PCR Webinars takes advantage of the tradition and continuity and blends it with the novel opportunities of the digitalised world.

Live updates on a selection of major Late Breaking Clinical Trials of interest in interventional cardiology presented at the American College of Cardiology 2024 Scientific Sessions #ACC24

A 38-year-old man with class III angina was referred for coronary angiography following a positive myocardial perfusion scan. The angiogram showed functionally occluded PDA as well as significant disease in the proximal, mid, and distal RCA. After wiring and predilating PDA, TIMI-III flow in PDA was...
