TAVI: new approach

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session introduces new frontiers in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), including artificial intelligence-enabled systems and minimalist, radiation-free approaches guided by echocardiography. It covers complex procedural techniques such as axillary access under TEE guidance, precision snaring, and managing challenging anatomies, emphasizing advancements in safety and efficacy...

Registries and trials in mitral TEER

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This comprehensive session reviews registries and clinical trials in mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). It includes discussions on novel TEER systems, international consensus on PASCAL implants, anatomical predictors of procedural success, and long-term outcomes including ventricular and atrial remodeling after intervention, as well as emerging therapies...

AI in imaging & the cathlab - opportunities in procedural planning & guidance

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the role of artificial intelligence in imaging and the cathlab, emphasizing computer vision applications distinct from language models. It discusses AI's integration into procedural planning and guidance, balancing algorithmic support with physician judgement to enhance interventional cardiology workflows.

Imaging the calcified lesions: what you need to see

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session emphasizes critical imaging aspects necessary for assessing calcified coronary lesions. It addresses lesion-specific Agatston scoring, OCT-guided PCI optimization, coronary CT planning, histopathological insights, and predictors of stent underexpansion after calcium modification.

How to snare a TAVI when crossing is too complex

30 Jan 2025

Crossing the aortic valve can pose significant challenges, particularly in cases involving a horizontal aorta, bulky asymmetric calcifications, or prior prosthesis implantation in valve-in-valve procedures. While some TAVI devices feature deflectable delivery systems to enhance coaxiality, current self-expanding valves lack this capability. When standard techniques like...
