This session explores challenging clinical scenarios in STEMI, including coronary embolisation from aortic valve vegetation, blunt chest trauma-related STEMI, intramural hematoma diagnostics with multimodality imaging, acute stent thrombosis during dengue recovery, and advanced clot removal techniques beyond standard aspiration devices.

This session demonstrates the feasibility of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with heart failure through a series of challenging cases. It covers sequential management of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with aortic stenosis, advanced heart failure interventions, staged approaches in cardiogenic shock, and complex percutaneous interventions...

Delve into the critical aspects of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock, focusing on device selection, assessment of persistent congestion, and the application of unloading tools to improve patient management and outcomes.

This educational session provides a comprehensive overview of chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, elucidating key procedural steps, essential materials, and potential complications. It highlights the significant role of nurses and allied health professionals in supporting the procedure and enhancing patient experience throughout the pre-, intra-, and...

This study's results emphasise the strengths and limitations of transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) as a novel and promising therapy providing predictable elimination of MR in most patients, by S. Ludwig et al.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) offers an effective, less invasive therapeutic alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis. Although TAVI is demonstrated to be superior to medical therapy or surgery in patients who are at prohibitive or high risk for...

Yohei Ohno provides his takeaways from the results of the Evolut Low Risk trial which was presented by Michael J. Reardon during the ACC.25 in Chicago.

Over the last 30 years, primary PCI (pPCI) has evolved from an experimental ‘rescue’ intervention to an essential routine procedure – performed daily in cathlabs around the world – which is responsible for saving millions of lives. However, its path to success was far from smooth.

Luigi Biasco provides his take on the clinical trial presented by John K. Forrest from Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA during the 2023 ACC/WCC annual congress held in New Orleans, Louisiana.
