Routine primary PCI: what can go wrong?
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session offers an in-depth examination of potential complications during routine primary PCI, focusing on prevention and management strategies. Key learning points include understanding no-reflow phenomena, managing STEMI in post-CABG patients, and handling thrombus burden effectively. Real-world cases illustrate decision-making processes and therapeutic approaches to optimize...
Mitral paravalvular leak closure: case-bases strategies
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents case-based strategies for mitral paravalvular leak closure, highlighting complex percutaneous approaches including multivalvular failure management, apical access techniques, and transatrial direct surgical valve-in-MAC procedures. It features challenging clinical scenarios demonstrating innovative solutions for hemolytic leaks and complex paravalvular defects.
Insight from recent evidence in coronary artery disease: value of DCB for de novo lesions (SELUTION) and imaging for left main PCI (OPTIMAL)
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews pivotal recent evidence impacting daily practice in coronary artery disease management.

First-in-human experience with EasyCross: a novel catheter for a safe and correct aortic valve crossing
14 Jun 2024
This EIJ image highlights a new device designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of ViV TAVI procedures, particularly TAV-in-TAV, by reducing attempts to cross the valve and preventing guidewire misnavigation, thereby minimizing complications and procedure time.
Rapid CT-guided emergency TAVI-in-TAVI-in-valve for cardiogenic shock with high coronary obstruction risk
14 Apr 2026
An 85-year-old man presented in cardiogenic shock with torrential aortic regurgitation after prior surgical and TAVI valve-in-valve procedures. With high coronary obstruction risk, urgent CT assessment and in-silico simulations guided a rapid redo TAVI-in-TAVI-in-valve implantation, demonstrating that CT-assisted emergency redo-TAVI is feasible and lifesaving in high-risk...
