How to face resistent hypertension: when pharmacological treatment is not an option

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Focused on resistant hypertension, this session explores interventional options when pharmacological treatments fall short. It discusses urgent intervention indications, complex cases involving renal artery occlusion, and the role of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in managing pan-vascular disease associated with hypertension.

FFR- and IVUS-guided PCI of a long and calcified LAD lesion - LIVE case

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

A 71‑year‑old man with hypertension and dyslipidemia presented with CCS class II angina and three‑vessel coronary artery disease. Functional assessment included CT‑derived micro‑FFR, angiography‑based FFR, and stress myocardial scintigraphy. The only hemodynamically significant lesion was a long, calcified lesion of the LAD.

Lesion preparation was performed with...

Self-made steerable catheter to cross the aortic valve in severe aortic stenosis

15 Apr 2026

When standard catheters and wires repeatedly fail to cross a severely stenotic aortic valve, a simple modification of readily available equipment may provide a solution.

This step-by-step tutorial explains how to create and use a self-made steerable catheter system to facilitate valve crossing in complex TAVI anatomies.
