Bifurcation
February 2010Among complex coronary lesions, bifurcation is the most frequent. Recent trials, bench testing and new imaging modalities have recently improved our knowledge regarding the lesion analysis and the treatment strategy.
Transluminal aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
January 2010Transluminal aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is your second favorite topic, after acute MI and before CTO. Discover here a selection of the most important cases and lectures during the last EuroPCR.
Acute myocardial infarction
October 2009You asked for it! All you need to know on AMI is in this month's key topic file.
Coronary disease in the elderly
September 2009Patients older than 80 years are a fast growing population in our daily practice. The decision making process is difficult due to different expectations and specific issues related to the revascularisation strategy.
It was the theme of the year for EuroPCR 2009.
Highlights EuroPCR 2009
June 2009
Long term safety with DES
May 2009This point was a burning question but, with the time and release of new data, the debate are going to calm down as shown in the following presentations. However, there are still remaining points of debate: What is the exact risk of very late stent thrombosis? Does it exist a class effect meaning that all DES are equivalent? Is prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy the answer?
PFO closure
April 2009PFO closure is the most frequent structural heart disease intervention. Even though the technique is well established, there are some debates about indications.... and some new technologies are now emerging.
Renal Angioplasty
February 2009Renal artery stenting was recently a matter of debate, particularly regarding indications: here is the update from EuroPCR
FFR
January 2009"FAME" results have recently emphasized the role of FFR & pressure wire to guide the revascularisation strategy, you can find here the most recent data and the most important tips & tricks about FFR usage.
Multivessel Disease
September 2008The first SYNTAX results have been released, and along with a selection of presentations from EuroPCR, provide us with the opportunity to understand the complexity of MVD.
EuroPCR08 Highlights
June 2008A taste of EuroPCR 2008 with webcasts of the Opening ceremony and the Late breaking trials, as well as some state-of-the art lectures.
Acute myocardial infarction
May 2008Acute MI is in the top 3 in the number of hits by topic on this website, meaning it remains a concern for routine practice. There are still debates around facilitation, aspiration and stenting using DES. Moreover, cell therapy role needs clarification.
Mitral repair
March 2008Is percutaneous repair of mitral regurgitation (MR) a realistic or a futuristic approach ?
Left Main
February 2008 Left main lesion is at the heart of the controversy between PCI and CABG: review opinions expressed during EuroPCR 2007. The percutaneous approach strategy in the distal LM lesion is also a matter of debate…
Carotid artery stenting
December 2007CAS is now used throughout the world in various clinical and anatomical situations: what is the current status of this percutaneous therapy?
Chronic total occlusion
October 2007A selection of the most educational lectures and clinical cases including the newest techniques.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
September 2007What is the status of endovascular repair in abdominal aortic aneurysms?
EuroPCR07 Highlights
June 2007With this overview, discover an important controversy of EuroPCR07, PCI versus CABG debate, and much more!
DES safety
April 2007Late biocompatibility is now the next challenge for DES technology: what is the scope of the problem? Do we know the clinical impact? How can we manage this issue with existing solutions?
Best of 2006: your favorite files
February 2007Access your favorite files from 2006! Read or play the top 5 clinical videos, webcasts, lectures, clinical cases, EuroPCR sessions, EuroIntervention case reports and articles!
Percutaneous aortic valve replacement
November 2006The percutaneous management of aortic stenosis is now undergoing clinical validation using different devices: what is the state of the art?
Superficial femoral artery
September 2006Superficial femoral artery angioplasty is a frequent intervention. However, there are still some unsolved questions: the role of PTA versus surgery in long occlusions, the systematic stenting strategy taking into account the risk of stent fracture, the role of new devices such as protection devices, the approach for instent restenosis. Discover answers: lectures, clinical case videos and a webcast.
EuroPCR06 Highlights
July 2006Access the late breaking trials webcasts and discover the LAD-diagonal bifurcation clinical case, LIVE! This file also includes useful links: direct access to the "Learning the techniques" sessions & "Live case reviews". A complete overview of the Course includes 745 presentations, access to the online version of the most recent EuroIntervention issues, as well as the valve supplement and the four issues of the Daily News.
DES in peripheral interventions
February 2006DES generate a great enthousiasm in the coronary field but the situation is different for peripheral interventions. What are the current status and future perspectives?
Vulnerable Plaque
January 2006Vulnerable plaque has been THE burning topic for the past three years! Where are we in terms of detection and therapeutic options? Discover the key lectures from EuroPCR 2005 and, for the first time, view a live case on EuroPCRonline.com
Renal Angioplasty
November 2005Follow the renal angioplasty technique step by step with Dr Alberto Cremonesi. Discover specific features of renal procedures, including the potential role of protection. Learn from a selection of live PTRA cases.
Left Main PCI
