Precision TAVI - Seering marginal gains

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session delves into precision techniques in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), highlighting novel stepwise implantation methods for self-expanding valves, the effects of internal diameter and valve fracture on gradients post valve-in-valve TAVI, and comparative analyses of implantation-depth variability across large-size TAVI platforms. Additionally, it evaluates...

TAVI procedural complications - Part 8: aortic dissection, multiple valves procedures, and more

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses complex procedural complications encountered during TAVI, featuring challenging cases such as aortic dissection, multiple valve procedures including redo TAVI in patients with left ventricular assist devices, and structural failures like valve infolding and embolisation. It emphasizes strategic decision-making under critical circumstances to optimize...

Risk and prognosis predictors in STEMI

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores key risk and prognostic factors in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), encompassing biomarker-based outcome prediction, the influence of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol on myocardial injury, and thrombotic risk in atrial fibrillation patients undergoing PCI. It further examines gender differences in young STEMI patients, the safety...

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...

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.
