Inflammation and cardiovascular risk

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Exploring the interplay between inflammation and cardiovascular risk, this session reviews contemporary research on residual risk post-PCI, inflammatory markers in coronary artery disease especially in type 2 diabetes and ACS, and prognostic tools including lipoprotein(a) and systemic inflammation indices.

Modern risk prediction in TAVI

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines modern risk prediction models in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It presents novel scoring systems, the prognostic significance of cardiac damage extent and progression, and the impact of multivalvular disease, enhancing patient stratification and outcome prediction.

The pearl of unloading with mechanical circulatory support

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

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.

Haemodynamic support: from shock to complex high-risk interventional problems

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines haemodynamic support from cardiogenic shock through to complex high-risk interventional cardiology procedures. It features registry data, clinical outcomes, and procedural techniques including mechanical circulatory support and arterial access strategies.

CHOICE-CLOSURE: a randomized trial of plug-based versus suture-based large-bore vascular closure

06 Nov 2021

TCT 2021: Radoslaw Parma reviews the CHOICE-CLOSURE multicentre, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial presented by Mohamed Abdel-Wahab. The study compared outcomes of percutaneous femoral artery closure using a plug-based and a primary suture-based strategy in patients undergoing TAVI.

How to perform angiographic check after large-sheath removal in single access procedures

18 Mar 2024

In the absence of other arterial access, this step-by-step tutorial shows how to perform anterograde angiography of the arterial axis after removal of the large sheath, making it easier to recognise and rapidly manage vascular complications such as arterial lesions and haemostasis failure.
