This session offers an in-depth exploration of complex Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedures, emphasizing practical aspects crucial for daily clinical practice. Expert TAVI operators share their extensive experience, providing valuable tips and tricks on case selection, procedural strategies, and managing complications to optimize patient outcomes.

This masterclass provides a comprehensive framework for mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair (TEER), covering imaging-guided procedural planning, device selection, and deployment. It emphasizes recognition of anatomical challenges and strategies to avoid and manage complications such as single leaflet device attachment, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Explore advanced techniques in complex chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions, featuring IVUS-guided retrograde wire facilitated antegrade approaches, novel multiwire plaque modification for uncrossable in-stent restenosis CTOs, and strategic navigation through challenging scenarios. This session highlights key procedural insights and complication management strategies essential for success in...

Explore the management of heavily calcified LAD lesions in this PCRGulf-GIM 2025 session. Discover how OCT imaging guides lesion assessment, differentiates superficial from deep calcium, and informs the need for plaque modification. Learn when and how to use orbital atherectomy or intravascular lithotripsy, and follow the...

This session examines complex bifurcation interventions, addressing challenging cases such as isolated Medina 0,0,1 left main bifurcation and imaging-guided trifurcation angioplasty in acute coronary syndromes. It emphasizes strategic approaches and device selection to overcome anatomical complexities, manage complications, and achieve successful outcomes in bifurcation PCI.

This abstracts session presents contemporary research and clinical insights in interventional cardiology, covering topics such as colchicine therapy post-stenting, ranolazine use in chronic coronary syndrome, artificial intelligence applications in quantitative coronary analysis, and optimization techniques in transcatheter aortic valve implantation. It also explores novel predictors of...

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease leading to intervention. It is characterized by progression from leaflet thickening and calcification to significant haemodynamic stenosis which results in disease-specific symptoms and physical limitations as well as poor prognosis and impaired quality of life if...

Ali Nazmi Calik reviews Amulet IDE, a prospective, randomized, multi-center and active-control trial designed to compare the Amulet and Watchman 2.5 devices in a head-to-head fashion, and presented by Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy during TCT 2021.
