Investigate atypical presentations of STEMI and the unique challenges they pose in clinical management. This session covers case studies including high bleeding risk patients, mechanical complications post-surgery, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and recurrent events, emphasizing tailored therapeutic approaches.

Explore novel techniques and emerging technologies in transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR). This session showcases innovative devices and approaches, early clinical experiences, and strategies to address challenges such as pacemaker leads and failed tricuspid TEER procedures.

This session delves into the complexities of mitral valve interventions, focusing on valve-in-valve, valve-in-ring, and valve-in-mitral annular calcification (MAC) procedures. It addresses troubleshooting in high-risk valve-in-MAC cases, urgent transcatheter mitral valve implantation supported by microaxial flow pumps, challenges in delivering balloon expandable valves transeptally, and innovative...

This session focuses on the critical evaluation and management of cardiogenic shock by identifying its underlying causes and tailoring treatment accordingly. It presents complex cases including free wall rupture bail-out strategies, management dilemmas in inferior STEMI complicated by incomplete ventricular rupture, multifactorial culprit lesions, refractory hypotension...

Alex Sticchi provides his take on the PASCAL IID Registry and an initial comparison with the CLASP IID. The trial was presented by Jörg Hausleiter during TCT Congress 2022.

Alex Sticchi & Jonathan Curio provide their take on the clinical trial presented by Gregg W. Stone at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions (ACC.23/WCC).

Paris, France, 14-17 May 2024. The Course Directors have selected 3 major Late Breaking Trials (LBTs) that were presented for the first time during the 2024 edition of EuroPCR. These trials were selected on account of their design, outcomes and potential to influence daily clinical practice....

Jonathan Curio provides his take on the MitrAI score study which was presented by Luigi Biasco at ESC Congress 2024 in London.

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...

Analyze this EIJ image to see how surgical aortic bioprostheses with expandable ring technology can significantly enhance future ViV procedures.

Make the most of the insights from Jacob Thomsen Loenborg’s interview with Chiara De Biase and Ali Nazmi Calik’s article to capture the key takeaways from this trial, simultaneously published in the NEJM, presented at the ESC Congress 2024 in London.

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...

Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on the EVOLVED trial presented by Marc Dweck at TCT 2024 in Washington.
