This session focuses on imaging-guided ultralow contrast PCI techniques designed to minimize contrast-induced nephropathy risk. It includes IVUS-guided strategies for distal left main bifurcation PCI, zero-contrast interventions in renal transplant patients, and precision stent placement without contrast use, emphasizing safety, precision, and frugality in contemporary PCI...

This session highlights the critical role of intracoronary imaging, particularly IVUS, in guiding complex percutaneous coronary interventions. It presents techniques such as IVUS-guided puncture of neo-ostia, stent implantation for ostial lesions, and innovative procedural methods like the Heart POTTER technique, underscoring the importance of precise imaging...

This session evaluates percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the context of cardiogenic shock, discussing both possibilities and limitations. It features complex cases including Impella-supported rotablation in elderly patients, microaxial flow pump use, and challenging interventions in young patients with multivessel chronic total occlusions, providing insights into...

This session addresses procedural challenges in mitral valve interventions, including valve-in-valve, valve-in-ring, and valve replacement techniques. It covers lifetime management of patients with atrial fixated transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), approaches to recurrent mitral regurgitation, complex valve-in-valve cases, and hybrid strategies for valve-in-ring implantation, highlighting innovative...

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.
