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...
Behind standard practice: a place for DCB
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines the role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) beyond standard practice in coronary revascularization. It includes discussions on revascularization strategies in young patients, rescue of early distal LIMA–LAD anastomosis, treatment of in-stent restenosis, stepwise complex CTO bifurcation revascularization using kissing DCBs, and management of calcified...
Identifying problems and solving complex anatomies during TAVI
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
A comprehensive session on managing complex anatomies during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), emphasizing risk markers for peri-operative complications and strategies to address difficult anatomical challenges. Real-world cases illustrate practical approaches and key learnings for handling intricate TAVI scenarios.
Mitral TEER beyond the routine: complex and complicated cases
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores complex and complicated cases of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) beyond routine practice. It addresses challenges such as device failures, late complications, acute left ventricular dysfunction related to afterload changes, stepwise approaches to overcome procedural failures, rescue strategies in cardiogenic shock, and tailored...
Lessons learned to pave the way for future-proof strategies in TAVI
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This EuroPCR 2026 session focuses on how current experience in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can be translated into more durable strategies for the future, particularly in patients with bicuspid aortic valve disease.
It provides a comprehensive overview of anatomical, clinical, and procedural considerations in this challenging...
From access to reperfusion: a procedural deep dive into pulmonary embolism
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
From vascular access to reperfusion strategy, managing acute pulmonary embolism requires rapid decision-making, careful patient selection and increasingly sophisticated interventional techniques.
This EuroPCR 2026 session takes a procedural deep dive into contemporary pulmonary embolism management, focusing on thrombus aspiration techniques and the evolving role of computer-assisted vacuum...
Advancing mitral care with the Intrepid TMVR system
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This EuroPCR 2026 session explores the Intrepid transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) system and its role in expanding treatment options for patients with mitral regurgitation, including complex anatomies such as mitral annular calcification (MAC).
It highlights how the system’s design features and procedural imaging support a streamlined...
Seeing differently, treating better: advanced imaging shaping modern structural heart practice
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores the transformative role of advanced imaging, particularly 3D intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), in modern structural heart interventions. It provides practical insights into implementation, highlighting how these tools can enhance workflow efficiency and procedural confidence across transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), left atrial appendage (LAA) closure,...
The PASCAL IID Registry: A prospective registry for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in prohibitive risk patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation and complex mitral valve anatomy
17 Sep 2022
Alex Sticchi provides his take on the PASCAL IID Registry and an initial comparison with the CLASP IID. The trial was presented by Jörg Hausleiter during TCT Congress 2022.

CHOICE-CLOSURE: a randomized trial of plug-based versus suture-based large-bore vascular closure
06 Nov 2021
TCT 2021: Radoslaw Parma reviews the CHOICE-CLOSURE multicentre, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial presented by Mohamed Abdel-Wahab. The study compared outcomes of percutaneous femoral artery closure using a plug-based and a primary suture-based strategy in patients undergoing TAVI.

Successful rotablation of a calcium spike blocking the motion of a mechanical prosthetic leaflet
27 Mar 2023
Thanks to this EIJ image, consider the case of a 46-year-old female patient who underwent a first aortic valve replacement at the age of 25, a second one 10 years later, together with a mitral valve replacement, and who presented with a displaced calcium spike from...
Feasibility of sheathless Impella for protected percutaneous coronary intervention: a single-center experience
02 May 2025
Impella CP microaxial flow pump supports complete revascularisation during high-risk PCI, but standard implantation often leads to vascular complications. This article explores an initial experience with a sheathless implantation technique, which shows promise as a feasible and safe alternative.
Routine cerebral embolic protection in transcatheter aortic valve implantation: the British Heart Foundation (BHF) PROTECT-TAVI trial
29 Mar 2025
Aaysha Cader and Ali Nazmi Calik provide their take on the BHF PROTECT-TAVI trial, presented by Rajesh Kharbanda at ACC.25 in Chicago.
