Engage with a challenging session focused on complex calcified lesion interventions. Topics include innovative triple burr techniques, OCT insights into resistant lesions, volume reduction strategies, eccentric calcium management, and IVUS-guided left main calcified lesion treatment, highlighting practical approaches to difficult cases.

This session offers a detailed exploration of drug-coated balloon (DCB) use in non-left main true bifurcation lesions. Learn to define suitable lesion characteristics for provisional stenting, understand stepwise procedural strategies minimizing implanted material, and appreciate the role of intravascular imaging in assessing bifurcation complexity and optimizing...

This session addresses advanced leaflet modification techniques to prevent coronary obstruction during TAVI. Learn from detailed cases involving valve-in-valve interventions, treatment of failed stentless valves, homograft management, and dedicated devices for leaflet modification prior to valve-in-valve and valve-in-valve-in-valve procedures.

This session addresses the complexities and innovative approaches to managing high coronary risk during TAVI procedures. It features advanced techniques such as the double chimney-stent method, valve-in-valve strategies to prevent coronary obstruction, and challenging cases involving TAVI-in-TAVI. These insights provide practical guidance for interventionalists navigating high-risk...

From a clean puncture to a safe valvulotomy, a step by step video tour through performing distal radial MiniBAV – a novel technique.

Dejan Milasinovic provides his take on this clinical trial which was presented by Divaka Perera (London, United Kingdom), at the American College of Cardiology (ACC/WCC) 2023 Scientific Session.

Large-bore femoral access closure remains a critical step in transfemoral TAVI, where access-site complications can significantly impact outcomes.

This My Toolkit article presents a step-by-step tutorial on a combined suture- and plug-based closure strategy using one ProStyle™ and one Angio-Seal®. The technique aims to achieve rapid, reliable...

Mirvat Alasnag provides her take on the ECMO-CS trial, which was presented during AHA 2022 in Chicago, and simultaneously published in Circulation. 

REDUCE-AMI is a multicentre, registry-based, prospective open-label parallel-group randomised clinical trial evaluating the benefit of beta-blocker treatment in patients with acute MI and an ejection fraction >50% treated with a contemporary reperfusion strategy.

Nicola Ryan and Ali Nazmi Calik provide their take on the results which were presented...
