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.

Registries and trials in TMVR

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session provides an in-depth review of registries and clinical trials focused on transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). It presents data on annular and ventricular remodeling with the HighLife system, mid- to long-term valve performance, and innovations in transseptal TMVR using novel bioprostheses.

When the angiogram shows no answer for your AMI patient: what's next?

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on non-occlusive causes of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) when angiograms do not reveal clear pathology. It emphasizes the diagnostic value of intracoronary imaging for conditions such as MINOCA and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), and discusses optimal treatment strategies and prognostic considerations.

Stentless PCI, DCB and BVS in complex scenarios

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the use of stentless percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) employing drug-coated balloons (DCB) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BVS) in complex coronary scenarios. Through detailed case discussions, it addresses decision-making processes, technical considerations, and practical tips for successfully completing PCI without permanent stenting.

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.
