This session explores complex and complicated cases of mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) beyond routine practice. It addresses challenges such as device failures, late complications, acute left ventricular dysfunction related to afterload changes, stepwise approaches to overcome procedural failures, rescue strategies in cardiogenic shock, and tailored...

This session highlights the evolving role of the pulmonary valve in adult structural interventions. It reviews complex transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) cases, strategies for managing challenging right ventricular outflow tract anatomies, and percutaneous solutions for pulmonary artery stenosis and related complications.

This session presents new techniques and practical tips in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It covers innovative approaches such as the side-flap technique, simplified antegrade strategies for calcified lesions, and retrograde CTO techniques, providing valuable insights into overcoming challenging occlusions.

This session explores the clinical applications of drug-coated balloons (DCB) across diverse challenging scenarios. It covers management of severely calcified nodules in acute coronary syndrome, healing of intentional dissections in chronic total occlusions using paclitaxel DCB, strategic integration of contemporary technology in complex lesion treatment, and...

From a clean puncture to a safe valvulotomy, a step by step video tour through performing distal radial MiniBAV – a novel technique.

Dejan Milasinovic provides his take on this clinical trial which was presented by Divaka Perera (London, United Kingdom), at the American College of Cardiology (ACC/WCC) 2023 Scientific Session.

Large-bore femoral access closure remains a critical step in transfemoral TAVI, where access-site complications can significantly impact outcomes.

This My Toolkit article presents a step-by-step tutorial on a combined suture- and plug-based closure strategy using one ProStyle™ and one Angio-Seal®. The technique aims to achieve rapid, reliable...

Mirvat Alasnag provides her take on the ECMO-CS trial, which was presented during AHA 2022 in Chicago, and simultaneously published in Circulation. 

REDUCE-AMI is a multicentre, registry-based, prospective open-label parallel-group randomised clinical trial evaluating the benefit of beta-blocker treatment in patients with acute MI and an ejection fraction >50% treated with a contemporary reperfusion strategy.

Nicola Ryan and Ali Nazmi Calik provide their take on the results which were presented...
