This session delves into the critical role of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in characterizing and managing calcified coronary lesions. Attendees can explore an imaging-guided approach to calcium treatment, including case presentations that demonstrate stent selection and procedural optimization. Emphasis is placed on applying imaging-based optimization metrics to...

This session addresses the challenges and strategies in optimizing guided-directed medical therapy for acute heart failure patients, especially those intolerant to up-titration. It also covers the assessment and timing for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), highlighting the benefits of combining medical therapy and device implantation to improve...

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...

This session examines the balance between ischemic and bleeding risks by comparing monotherapy regimens and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following PCI. Key topics include clopidogrel versus aspirin monotherapy, aspirin discontinuation timing after ACS, and the impact of P2Y12 adherence on clinical outcomes in high-risk and oral...

The present clinical case highlights some anatomical, functional, and devices-related features which may be used as red flag in the LAAO procedure planning due to prevent PA perforation, a rare but serious complication.

Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) has reshaped the prognosis for heart failure patients with secondary mitral regurgitation, but recurrence remains a real challenge when surgical options are off the table.

This case highlights an innovative use of an atrial flow regulator (AFR) to manage elevated left atrial...

Paris, France, 20-23 May 2025. The EuroPCR Course Directors have selected 3 major late-breaking trials that will be presented for the first time during the 2025 edition of EuroPCR. These trials were selected because of their design, results, and potential to impact practice, among them is the...

Daniele Giacoppo reports the main results of the RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI trial presented by Joo-Yong Hahn, from the Heart Vascular Stroke Institute, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea, in a Late-Breaking Trial session at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2023 / World...

Claudio Laudani and Daniele Giacoppo report the main results of the ILUMIEN IV trial presented by Ziad Ali, from the St. Francis Hospital, Roslyn, and Clinical Trials Center, Cardiovascular Research Foundation, New York, in a Hot Line session at the European Society of Cardiology congress 2023...
