TAVI in bicuspid - Planning to performance
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Dedicated to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in bicuspid aortic valves, this session examines anatomical assessment, sizing methods, and clinical outcomes. It includes meta-analyses and registry insights, addressing challenges such as stent deformation and leaflet modification to guide optimal TAVI performance in this distinct patient population.
How to treat aortic regurgitation
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Explore cutting-edge transcatheter approaches for aortic regurgitation, including first-in-human ATLAS technique, management in LVAD patients, and off-label Myval use. This session reviews clinical challenges and innovative solutions in aortic valve interventions, offering valuable insights from complex procedural experiences.
Left main complications - Part 3
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews complex complications encountered in left main coronary interventions. It covers causes and management of acute left main occlusion, critical stenosis of coronary buttons, retrieval techniques for ostial stents, and strategies for managing challenging PCI scenarios that may precipitate or resolve catastrophic events.
Left main PCI, what is known and what is new
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines both established knowledge and novel advances in left main PCI. Topics include the use of novel stents and laser atherectomy in calcified lesions, the prognostic impact of cardiac motion during bifurcation PCI, effects of left ventricular dysfunction, and sex-specific survival outcomes, as well...
Left main PCI: predictions of risk and long-term clinical outcome
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on risk prediction and long-term outcomes following left main percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It covers biomarkers like NT-proBNP, hemodynamic predictors, and the impact of comorbidities such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease on patient prognosis over a ten-year follow-up.
Multivessel disease or left main disease
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores revascularisation strategies for patients with multivessel or left main coronary artery disease. It emphasizes the role of intravascular physiology and imaging in guiding treatment decisions and highlights procedural factors that contribute to improved long-term clinical outcomes, supported by complex case discussions.
When atrial septal closure gets complex
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores the complexities that arise when atrial septal closure procedures become challenging. It covers hybrid retrieval techniques for occluder devices, management of device-related complications mimicking infection, resolution of uncommon complications, and case studies including cryptogenic stroke management in athletes, highlighting procedural intricacies and solutions.
STEMI management around the world
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents a global perspective on STEMI management, addressing strategies to reduce reperfusion delays through nurse-integrated pathways and comparing intracoronary versus intravenous Tirofiban use during primary PCI. It includes epidemiological insights from Rwanda and Egypt, evaluates thrombo-aspiration practices in Sub-Saharan Africa, and examines outcomes in...
Transcatheter management of failed THV - LIVE case
Recommended by PCR
09 Feb 2025 – From PCR Tokyo Valves 2025
An 84-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus, frailty (5/6), preserved LV function, and aortic stenosis previously treated with CoreValve 26 mm in 2016, presented with symptomatic degenerative stenosis of the valve.
A Sapien 3 (23 mm) was implanted without predilatation but with post-dilatation under general anaesthesia, using cerebral...

BRIGHT-4 – Bivalirudin plus a high-dose infusion versus heparin monotherapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a randomised trial
07 Nov 2022
Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BRIGHT-4 study, which was presented during AHA 2022 in Chicago, & simultaneously published in the Lancet.
This study was a randomised control trial designed to assess if bivalirudin plus a high dose infusion for 2-4 hours post PPCI was superior to unfractionated...
