Acute stroke interventions

11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025

This session provides an in-depth look at acute stroke interventions from a vascular and interventional cardiology perspective. It covers cerebral vascular anatomy relevant to stroke, various mechanical thrombectomy techniques, and the expanding role of interventional cardiologists in acute stroke management, illustrated through case presentations.

Calcium modification and atherectomy

11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025

This session addresses the challenges of calcium modification and atherectomy in complex coronary interventions. It features case studies on stent deformation, advanced calcium modification strategies including orbital and laser atherectomy, imaging-guided approaches, and management of complications such as stent dislodgement, offering comprehensive insights into contemporary techniques...

Drug-coated balloons: a PREVAIL-ing gamechanger in complex PCI

11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025

Focus on the evolving role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in complex PCI, extending their use beyond traditional indications to challenging coronary lesions and high-risk patient populations. This session reviews clinical data from the SCAAR Prevail registry and discusses the evidence journey supporting broader advocacy for DCB...

TAVI and aortic valve procedures

11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025

Focusing on transcatheter aortic valve interventions, this session covers a broad spectrum of complex cases including emergent TAV-in-SAV procedures, management of severely calcified bicuspid valves, zero-contrast TAVI techniques, and strategies for hostile anatomies. It provides valuable insights into procedural planning and follow-up to optimize patient care...

CHOICE-CLOSURE: a randomized trial of plug-based versus suture-based large-bore vascular closure

06 Nov 2021

TCT 2021: Radoslaw Parma reviews the CHOICE-CLOSURE multicentre, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial presented by Mohamed Abdel-Wahab. The study compared outcomes of percutaneous femoral artery closure using a plug-based and a primary suture-based strategy in patients undergoing TAVI.

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.
