This session delves into the complexities of managing complications during STEMI interventions. Through real-world cases from Algeria, Malaysia, and Pakistan, it provides comprehensive analyses of challenging scenarios, treatment strategies, and key learnings, emphasizing the critical decision-making required to navigate complications and improve patient outcomes in high-stakes...

This session addresses complications encountered during bifurcation PCI through real-world cases involving stent dislodgement, entrapped guidewires, failed wiring techniques, and fractured devices. It highlights technical rescue maneuvers, the role of intravascular imaging, and long-term challenges encountered in managing complex bifurcation lesions to improve procedural success and...

Investigate new strategies in STEMI treatment through data from international registries and clinical trials. This session examines the comparative efficacy of sirolimus versus paclitaxel-coated balloons, plaque modification in calcified lesions, novel cardioprotective techniques during primary PCI, and the role of AI-assisted ECG interpretation in STEMI pathways.

Explore pioneering advancements in coronary interventions with first-in-man and novel devices. This session presents groundbreaking studies including cryotherapy for vulnerable plaques, a novel intravascular crossing system for coronary CTOs, sirolimus-coated retrievable scaffold therapy for in-stent restenosis, real-time intravascular photoacoustic imaging of lipid-rich plaques, and the inaugural...

This EIJ image illustrates a crucial case, emphasizing the importance of confirming wire position in the true lumen during dissection and re-entry techniques in CTO PCI.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the ALIGN AR trial which was presented by Vinod H. Thourani at TCT Congress 2023. The Align AR trial is a prospective single-arm investigation device exemption study assessing the safety and efficacy of the Trilogy transcatheter heart valve system in patients with...

Claudio Laudani and Daniele Giacoppo report the main results of the ILUMIEN IV trial presented by Ziad Ali, from the St. Francis Hospital, Roslyn, and Clinical Trials Center, Cardiovascular Research Foundation, New York, in a Hot Line session at the European Society of Cardiology congress 2023...
