Mitral interventions: procedural risk assessment and interventions
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focused on mitral valve interventions, this session covers procedural risk assessment and outcomes following transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). Topics include predictive risk scores, technical complexity, pulmonary artery pressure indices, right ventricle-pulmonary artery coupling, and novel imaging predictors influencing procedural success and patient prognosis.
Ambiguous left main lesions: how to assess severity and make the right decision
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Addressing the complexities of ambiguous left main coronary lesions, this session elucidates the integration of physiology, intracoronary imaging, and CT scanning for comprehensive assessment. It highlights multimodality diagnostic strategies and decision-making frameworks to guide appropriate revascularization.
Inflammation and cardiovascular risk
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Exploring the interplay between inflammation and cardiovascular risk, this session reviews contemporary research on residual risk post-PCI, inflammatory markers in coronary artery disease especially in type 2 diabetes and ACS, and prognostic tools including lipoprotein(a) and systemic inflammation indices.
Modern risk prediction in TAVI
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines modern risk prediction models in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It presents novel scoring systems, the prognostic significance of cardiac damage extent and progression, and the impact of multivalvular disease, enhancing patient stratification and outcome prediction.
Repair of iatrogenic perforation of a pulmonary artery side branch with Micro Vascular Plug System
04 Dec 2022
Pulmonary artery rupture during right catheterization is a serious complication that needs to be solved urgently. The patient can be stabilized by tamponade of the pulmonary artery with the catheter balloon tip, as demonstrated in this image in cardiology.
UNIVERSAL: routine ultrasonography guidance for femoral vascular access for cardiac procedures - A randomized clinical Trial
19 Sep 2022
Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on UNIVERSAL randomized clinical trial, which questioned whether routine ultrasonography guidance for CFA access for cardiac procedures reduces bleeding or vascular complications. This trial was presented by Sanjit S. Jolly during TCT 2022.

When transfemoral TAVI is not an option: rethinking alternative access strategies
18 Jun 2026
In this article, Ulrich Schäfer explores the evolving landscape of access strategies in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the transfemoral approach remains the gold standard, a significant proportion of patients are not suitable due to peripheral vascular disease or anatomical constraints.
Drawing on clinical evidence and...
