Tackling calcified lesions with IVUS guidance and optimisation
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into the critical role of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in characterizing and managing calcified coronary lesions. Attendees can explore an imaging-guided approach to calcium treatment, including case presentations that demonstrate stent selection and procedural optimization. Emphasis is placed on applying imaging-based optimization metrics to...
When to best combine guided-directed medical therapy and devices at discharge of acute heart failure
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the challenges and strategies in optimizing guided-directed medical therapy for acute heart failure patients, especially those intolerant to up-titration. It also covers the assessment and timing for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), highlighting the benefits of combining medical therapy and device implantation to improve...
Registries and trials in mitral TEER
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This comprehensive session reviews registries and clinical trials in mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). It includes discussions on novel TEER systems, international consensus on PASCAL implants, anatomical predictors of procedural success, and long-term outcomes including ventricular and atrial remodeling after intervention, as well as emerging therapies...
Monotherapy vs. DAPT: striking the balance between ischemia and bleeding
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines the balance between ischemic and bleeding risks by comparing monotherapy regimens and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following PCI. Key topics include clopidogrel versus aspirin monotherapy, aspirin discontinuation timing after ACS, and the impact of P2Y12 adherence on clinical outcomes in high-risk and oral...
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...
