This session explores the complexities that arise when atrial septal closure procedures become challenging. It covers hybrid retrieval techniques for occluder devices, management of device-related complications mimicking infection, resolution of uncommon complications, and case studies including cryptogenic stroke management in athletes, highlighting procedural intricacies and solutions.

This session addresses the challenges of transcatheter interventions in severe mitral stenosis and mitral annular calcification. It highlights therapeutic innovations such as treating mitral stenosis with annular calcification, valve-in-MAC procedures, use of extra-large Myval valves, transatrial ViMAC approaches, and combined multivalve interventions in rheumatic heart disease.

This session focuses on imaging-guided CTO PCI, presenting cases that illustrate the utility of OCT, CT, and IVUS for lesion assessment and procedural guidance. Topics include woven-like CTOs, double CTO evaluation, management of late stent malapposition, and strategies for navigating complex occlusions to optimize outcomes.

Explore the integration of CT coronary angiography into catheterization laboratory practice through real-world studies assessing anatomical yield, diagnostic accuracy, and physiological assessments. The session highlights advancements in myocardial blood flow analysis and plaque characterization to improve ischemia detection and guide invasive angiography.

Aaysha Cader and Ali Nazmi Calik provide their take on the BHF PROTECT-TAVI trial, presented by Rajesh Kharbanda at ACC.25 in Chicago.

Paris, France, 20-23 May 2025. The EuroPCR Course Directors have selected 3 major late-breaking trials that will be presented for the first time during the 2025 edition of EuroPCR. These trials were selected because of their design, results, and potential to impact practice, among which is the...
