Dedicated to nurses and allied professionals, this session addresses occupational health challenges, radiation dose reduction through AI-enhanced fluoroscopy, and innovative simulation techniques for ECMO-supported resuscitation. It also explores sustainable practices in cath labs and the integration of structured physiotherapy pathways within TAVI programmes, underscoring multidisciplinary contributions...

PCR's Got Talent Round 1 - Session 2 offers a diverse collection of studies addressing coronary microvascular dysfunction, atrial fibrillation management, TAVI outcomes, AI applications in imaging, mitral and tricuspid valve interventions, and in-stent restenosis treatment. The session culminates with deliberations and results announcements, reflecting cutting-edge...

This session critically examines the role of artificial intelligence in clinical and academic cardiology, focusing on its application in literature search, evidence synthesis, and report structuring. It discusses responsible AI use, emphasizing the balance between assistance and academic integrity, and features a debate on authorship, transparency,...

This session explores the integration of artificial intelligence with advanced imaging modalities in coronary interventions. Topics include quantitative myocardial blood flow assessment via co-registered CCTA and angiography, AI-guided real-time procedural support, novel video frame interpolation techniques, high-risk plaque identification through AI-derived OCT stress mapping, and validation...

Elad Asher reviews the EROSION III trial, presented by Haibo Jia, which studied whether OCT guidance compared with angiographic guidance only is associated with lower stent rate implantation during pPCI in STEMI patients with non-obstructive stenosis.

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BEST trial which was presented by Jung-Min Ahn at TCT 2022.

It is a randomised, multicentre, non-inferiority trial comparing PCI with second-generation everolimus-eluting stents and CABG in patients with non-left main multivessel coronary artery disease. At two-year follow-up PCI was shown...

Pierre Deharo and Giuseppe Di Gioia provide their take on this analysis of the 5 years incidence, outcomes and predictors of hemodynamic SVD in patients undergoing TAVI and surgery from the Corevalve US Pivotal and SURTAVI trials.

Ali Nazmi Calik provides a summary and key take-aways and infographics of 9 major trials of interest to interventional cardiologists presented at ACC.21

Kalaivani Mahadevan provides an in-depth analysis of the ORBITA-CTO trial: a first-ever randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating CTO PCI in stable angina patients.
She also interviewed principal investigators Sarosh Khan and John Davies following the LBCT Scientific Session at ACC.26 in New Orleans and simultaneous publication in...

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the 10-year follow-up of the HOST-EXAM, which was presented by Hyo-Soo Kim at ACC.26 in New Orleans.
