Designed for busy cardiologists, this session elucidates the fundamentals of artificial intelligence relevant to cardiology practice. It covers the main AI tool families, including large language models and computer vision, and emphasizes effective and safe prompting techniques for clinical and academic use. Attendees will also learn...

This session highlights the latest innovations in structural and valvular cardiology, featuring novel technologies such as a new self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve for aortic stenosis treatment and a temporary atrioventricular sequential pacing system. It also discusses non-clinical testing methodologies supporting U.S. market approvals, non-invasive ultrasound therapy...

Discover cutting-edge innovations in vascular therapies highlighting novel technologies such as Pulse Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) for calcium modification and Amplitude Vascular Systems. The session also presents drug-free restenosis control strategies via CD31 camouflage coating promoting physiological-grade healing, emphasizing emerging solutions aimed at improving vascular intervention outcomes.

This session provides a comprehensive guide to large-bore venous access and vessel closure techniques, emphasizing best practices and the advantages of ultrasound-guided suture mediated vessel closure compared to traditional figure-of-eight suture methods. It also addresses strategies to avoid and manage potential complications encountered during these procedures.

Examine diverse clinical scenarios and management strategies for aortic paravalvular leaks (PVL), including complex percutaneous closures post-TAVI and surgical interventions. This session presents challenging cases demonstrating varied presentations and approaches such as mechanical valve loop utilization, highlighting the complexities and tailored solutions required for successful PVL...

Mirvat Alasnag provides her take on the AGENT IDE trial which was presented by Robert W. Yeh at TCT Congress 2023. This pivotal randomized trial compares the safety and efficacy of the AGENT DCB to conventional balloon angioplasty in patients with ISR. It is the first...

Spencer B. King performed some of the first coronary angioplasty procedures in the USA—having recently received a thank-you from the first patient that he treated. He tells The Daily Wire that the steerable guidewire, rather than the stent, was the greatest advance in angioplasty and that...

Mirvat Al Asnag provides her take on the ALL-RISE randomised trial presented by Ajay J. Kirtane at ACC.26 in New Orleans.

View a number of questions of interest to the interventional cardiovascular community, as well as the real-world applicability of COVID-19 vaccine trials.

Kalaivani Mahadevan provides an in-depth analysis of the ORBITA-CTO trial: a first-ever randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating CTO PCI in stable angina patients.
She also interviewed principal investigators Sarosh Khan and John Davies following the LBCT Scientific Session at ACC.26 in New Orleans and simultaneous publication in...

In this article, Jens Erik Nielsen-Kudsk reviews the evolution of left atrial appendage closure, from early trials such as PROTECT‑AF to recent evidence including CHAMPION‑AF, and discusses its expanding role in stroke prevention for atrial fibrillation.

Chiara De Biase provides her take on the results of AQUATIC presented by Martine Gilard at ESC Congress 2025 in Madrid.
