This session presents case-based strategies for mitral paravalvular leak closure, highlighting complex percutaneous approaches including multivalvular failure management, apical access techniques, and transatrial direct surgical valve-in-MAC procedures. It features challenging clinical scenarios demonstrating innovative solutions for hemolytic leaks and complex paravalvular defects.

Explore advances in complex endovascular and pulmonary interventions, including the transformation of interventional labs into intelligent learning ecosystems, innovative approaches to peripheral and coronary CTOs, and novel therapies such as extravascular renal denervation and fixation catheters for acute pulmonary embolism.

This session delves into the adoption of artificial intelligence in the cath lab, focusing on clinically useful risk prediction models for coronary and structural interventions. It covers advanced AI-guided intravascular imaging, machine learning applications for adverse event prediction, and critical evaluation of model validation and clinical...

This session addresses the management of rare and complex clinical scenarios encountered in the catheterization laboratory. Cases include dyspnea in coronary artery bypass graft patients, aortocoronary dissection management, complications during coronary sinus reducer implantation, coronary artery aneurysms related to IgG4 vasculitis, ibuprofen-induced Kounis syndrome, and challenging...

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...
