Cracking new horizons across all calcium morphologies
04 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
This session explores the challenges of treating calcified lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Learn how calcium can impede stent deliverability and expansion, potentially leading to thrombosis and restenosis. Discover the innovative Shockwave IVL technology, which uses sonic pressure waves to fracture calcium without harming surrounding...
All you need to know on left main bifurcations
04 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
Explore the latest insights on managing left main bifurcation lesions. Understand the current status of stenting approaches, particularly for left main distal bifurcation lesions. Discover the importance of intravascular imaging guidance in improving clinical outcomes for these complex cases.
TAVI and coronary artery disease - LIVE case
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
An 88-year-old woman with hypertension, dyslipidemia, paroxysmal AF, and moderate renal impairment presented with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, with a small (396 mm²), horizontal annulus and preserved LV function. She also had CAD with severe OM and diagonal stenoses. CT showed a risk of left main...
PCI of calcified distal left main stenosis - LIVE case
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
A 54 year-old male with hypertention, smoker, dyslipidemia and history of OM and Diagnal PCI (2004) presented a significant LM-LAD calcified stenosis.
They prepared the proximal LAD lesion by IVL before implanted a 3.5-28 mm stent. Then, they prepared the LM lesion with NC predilatation, a cutting...
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...
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement - LIVE case
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
A 65‑year‑old woman with obesity (BMI 38.7), prior cardiac surgery (CABG to OM and LAD in 2012), and chronic kidney disease presented with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation (Carpentier type III: type IIIa due to calcification and type IIIb post‑MI) with moderately reduced LVEF (45%).
A transcatheter mitral...
TAVI in aortic regurgitation with a dedicated valve - LIVE case
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
An 80-year-old male with chronic kidney disease, a history of colon cancer (2013), paroxysmal AF, and LAD PCI 2 weeks earlier presented with symptomatic severe type III AR. He had normal LV function, but early LV dilation. The mechanism of AR was a combination of primary...
Combined mitral repair and LAA closure with two separate septal punctures - LIVE case
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
A 79‑year‑old man with hypertension, a history of basal cell carcinoma and psoriasis, presented with symptomatic severe primary MR (flail P2 due to ruptured chordae) and bleeding complications (recurrent skin bleeding) while on DOAC therapy for permanent atrial fibrillation.
Two G5 MitraClip devices were implanted. Subsequently, through...
Calcified lesion of distal protected left main - LIVE case
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
An 85‑year‑old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, peripheral artery disease, COPD, and chronic kidney disease presented with CCS class II angina related to three‑vessel coronary artery disease. He had previously undergone hybrid revascularization, including PCI of the RCA ostium and CABG with LIMA...
