Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are the cornerstone of modern evidence-based medicine. The primary objective of an RCT is to provide unbiased estimates of the comparative efficacy and safety of various treatments and/or interventions. Interventional cardiology has undoubtedly been at the forefront of clinical research, with a...

Analyse this case of an 83-year-old male patient, hypertensive, ex-smoker, with severe COPD and peripheral arterial disease with unstable angina. Coronary angiography revealed a severely calcified lesion in a complex anatomical area, making revascularisation a therapeutic challenge.

September 29th marks the 25th anniversary of the creation of World Heart Day by the World Heart Federation. This day is dedicated to focusing international attention on cardiovascular disease (CVD), which remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide [1,2]. Today, we highlight the women...

Thanks to the contribution of a team of interventional cardiologists from around the globe, get the international perspective on Late-breaking Clinical Trials and Science released at TCT 2025 - check out the list below.

This session tackles PCI in challenging coronary anatomies, featuring cases with anomalous coronary arteries, complex access routes, and specialized stenting techniques. Learn from experiences managing dual anomalous arteries, navigating to difficult lesions, and applying innovative modified chimney stent methods to restore coronary flow.

Explore therapeutic options for patients with angina refractory to stenting. This session reviews the efficacy and clinical outcomes of coronary sinus (CS) reducer implantation for microvascular dysfunction, factors influencing procedural success, next-generation CS reducer innovations, and the role of aspirin in angina without obstructive coronary disease.

Discover long-term outcomes and practical insights into chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI. This session presents real-world registry data, cost-effectiveness analyses, effects of successful revascularisation in reduced ejection fraction and heart failure patients, and specific outcomes in octogenarian populations.

An 82-year-old male patient with a history of PM (pacemaker) implantation in 2024, and ischaemic cardiomyopathy presented with symptomatic heart failure due to severe secondary mitral regurgitation and impaired LV function (EF 40 %). He also presented with recurrent gastro-intestinal bleeding while on DOAC for atrial...

Examine novel predictors of outcomes following TAVI. This session compares a new nutritional risk index against traditional scores for early post-TAVI mortality prediction and evaluates uric acid as a marker for aortic valve calcification and mortality risk in TAVI patients.
