16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session provides updates on the latest developments in transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve interventions. Key topics include one-year outcomes of the MiCLASP study on transcatheter mitral repair, the impact of residual mitral and tricuspid regurgitation after transcatheter repair, and the early feasibility of the AltaValve...
Intracoronary imaging to guide management in ACS
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session focuses on the role of intracoronary imaging, specifically IVUS and OCT, in the management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Participants will learn when intracoronary imaging can facilitate diagnosis and guide PCI, as well as discuss image interpretation in the setting of ACS.
Acute and chronic right ventricular failure: focus on the weak link
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session discusses new diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of shock due to right ventricular infarction, explores why and how the failing right ventricle contributes to worsening heart failure, and examines device-based treatment opportunities for chronic right ventricular and tricuspid valve failure, including repair vs replacement. It...
Complication occurring during PCI of calcified coronary lesions
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Join this in-depth session on the complications encountered during PCI of calcified coronary lesions, featuring real-world challenges like no flow with coronary dissection, stuck wires, and non-dilatable lesions.
