This session explores vascular access techniques in interventional cardiology, emphasizing both femoral and radial approaches. It covers access-related bleeding and ischemic complications, safety and efficacy of distal radial programs, and innovations in sheath technology. Additional topics include post-procedural mobilization, management of radial artery recanalization, balloon fenestration...

This session examines the dual aspects of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in clinical practice through diverse case studies. Topics include DCB use in left main STEMI, OCT-guided management of in-stent restenosis, expanding indications for complex PCI, and challenges such as DCB failure and decision-making between drug-eluting balloons...

This session presents advanced strategies for mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in complex clinical settings. Through cases involving surgical ring dehiscence, acute mitral regurgitation, dextrocardia, congenital anomalies, severe annular calcifications, and creative procedural approaches, it explores the expanding role of TEER. The session provides guidance on...

This session reviews the latest developments in interventional treatments for hypertension, focusing on renal denervation (RDN) technologies and clinical outcomes. It includes comparative procedural data from global registries and studies, novel computational assessments, and applications in specific patient populations such as those with polycystic kidney disease...

A 61-year-old man with a history of 2-vessel coronary artery stenting, hypertension and type-2 diabetes mellitus was admitted 5 times within September 2017 and November 2018 for recurrent angina CCS class III-IV refractory to therapy with nitrates, b-blockers and ranolazine in maximally tolerated doses...

The 2023 European Society of Hypertension (ESH) guidelines were recently presented at the 32nd annual European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection and simultaneously published in the Journal of Hypertension.1 While wide parts of the guidelines do not substantially differ from the previous 2018 European Society...
