Left main complications - Part 2

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session covers intricate complications involving the left main coronary artery (LMCA), highlighting cases of catheter-induced dissections, challenges in chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, and rare scenarios such as stent entrapment and complex re-interventions. Emphasis is placed on the critical utility of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and...

Novel indications for DCB

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session reviews emerging clinical applications for drug-coated balloons (DCB) beyond traditional indications. It covers outcomes in venous stenosis, aorto-ostial lesions, and coronary bifurcation disease, comparing DCB strategies with drug-eluting stents and highlighting recent clinical trial findings.

Primary PCI dilemmas: when imaging saves the day

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session highlights the pivotal role of imaging in resolving dilemmas during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It presents complex cases illustrating challenges such as coronary compression, thrombus burden in large vessels, and culprit lesion identification, including the use of high-definition intravascular ultrasound (HD-IVUS) to reclassify...

Optimising TAVI care pathways

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines innovations in TAVI care pathways aimed at improving patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. Topics include large-scale transatlantic data on day-case TAVI, standardized ECG conduction algorithms reducing hospital stay, nurse-led structured pathways, feasibility of very early discharge, and urgent outpatient TAVI for severe aortic...

Atrial flow regulator implantation through atrial septal defect of previous mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: bailout strategy

30 Jun 2025

Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) has reshaped the prognosis for heart failure patients with secondary mitral regurgitation, but recurrence remains a real challenge when surgical options are off the table.

This case highlights an innovative use of an atrial flow regulator (AFR) to manage elevated left atrial...
