Secondary mitral regurgitation: not all patients are the same
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Examining secondary mitral regurgitation, this session differentiates patient phenotypes and discusses the application of updated guideline recommendations. It offers practical guidance on selecting the appropriate device tailored to individual patient characteristics, supported by detailed case studies.
Imaging to the rescue in LAA closure
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights the pivotal role of advanced imaging modalities in left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. Topics include novel risk assessment workflows for air embolism, evaluation protocols using cardiac CT and 3D TEE, reproducibility of anatomical classifications, and long-term follow-up outcomes with various imaging techniques.
Navigating the complexity of high bleeding risk
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focusing on patients with high bleeding risk undergoing PCI, this session presents contemporary evidence on prevalence, procedural strategies with different stent types, antiplatelet therapy considerations including diabetic and sex-specific outcomes, and novel technologies such as sirolimus-coated balloons and machine learning models for restenosis prediction.
Choosing the right strategy for isolated ostial left anterior descending artery or circumflex coronary lesions
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines optimal strategies for managing isolated ostial lesions in the left anterior descending and circumflex arteries, comparing left main crossover, ostial stenting, and drug-coated balloon (DCB) approaches. It emphasizes integrating multimodality imaging for informed decision-making, illustrated through detailed case discussions.
Repair of iatrogenic perforation of a pulmonary artery side branch with Micro Vascular Plug System
04 Dec 2022
Pulmonary artery rupture during right catheterization is a serious complication that needs to be solved urgently. The patient can be stabilized by tamponade of the pulmonary artery with the catheter balloon tip, as demonstrated in this image in cardiology.
UNIVERSAL: routine ultrasonography guidance for femoral vascular access for cardiac procedures - A randomized clinical Trial
19 Sep 2022
Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on UNIVERSAL randomized clinical trial, which questioned whether routine ultrasonography guidance for CFA access for cardiac procedures reduces bleeding or vascular complications. This trial was presented by Sanjit S. Jolly during TCT 2022.

When transfemoral TAVI is not an option: rethinking alternative access strategies
18 Jun 2026
In this article, Ulrich Schäfer explores the evolving landscape of access strategies in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the transfemoral approach remains the gold standard, a significant proportion of patients are not suitable due to peripheral vascular disease or anatomical constraints.
Drawing on clinical evidence and...
