#EuroPCR 2026 is officially open 🎉 This week in Paris, the global Heart Team comes together with one shared belief: education saves lives. 🎬 Watch the opening video and step inside the spirit of this year’s Course. 🗓️ 19-22 May pcronline.com/Courses/EuroPCR @CuissetDr @nicolasdumonte1 @NievesGonzalo1

I really enjoyed this year’s #EuroPCR. The formula is still the same (and 12,000+ participants say a lot about how much affection there is for this meeting) but the new Course Directors brought something fresh, with several sessions that were genuinely outstanding scientifically. I also had the feeling that a generational shift is quietly happening. And honestly, it leaves me optimistic about where things are going. And EuroIntervention? Probably the best it has ever looked: 8 original studies published simultaneously, two joint sessions with @TheLancet and @JACCJournals, and an awards ceremony where, between the serious prizes and the more tongue-in-cheek ones, I hope people had at least half as much fun as I did.

This analysis presented as SIMULTANEOUS PUBLICATION #EuroPCR from the CLEAR-IE registry evaluated percutaneous mechanical aspiration in patients with left-sided infective endocarditis. In a high-risk cohort, PMA was associated with high procedural success and a favourable rate of procedural complications despite the complexity of disease presentation.

Another SIM PUB online today presented #EuroPCR The multicentre HERA-TAVI registry compared contemporary intra-annular and supra-annular self-expanding transcatheter heart valves in routine transfemoral TAVI practice. At 1 year, both platforms demonstrated similarly low rates of death, disabling stroke, and heart failure hospitalisation, together with sustained haemodynamic performance and low rates of clinically relevant PVL. Distinct procedural trade-offs were observed, with higher pacemaker implantation following IA-SEV and higher bleeding rates following SA-SEV implantation.

🔥 #EuroPCR 2026 Major Late-Breaking Trials: Outcomes with left atrial appendage closure vs. direct oral anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation across different age groups The results of a prespecified sub-analysis of the CHAMPION-AF trial presented by Jens Erik Nielsen-Kudsk indicate that patient selection for LAAC vs. DOAC should be driven by overall suitability rather than age alone. The choice should be made on an individualised basis in a shared decision-making process with patients.

In the ICARE OFDI trial (simultaneous publication with presentation at #EuroPCR), intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) was non-inferior to rotational atherectomy for preparation of moderate-to-severe calcified coronary lesions before PCI. MSA was similar (6.0 vs 5.9 mm²), with comparable stent expansion, safety, and 12-month TLF. IVL showed less major strut malapposition. eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/intrav…

Catheter-based therapies are reshaping pulmonary embolism care, offering targeted options beyond anticoagulation for selected patients. This expert review provides a practical guide to procedural planning, device selection, technical execution, and complication management in contemporary PE intervention. #Cardiology #PulmonaryEmbolism #InterventionalCardiology #cardiotwitter @Costa_F_8 @pabl0salinas @marioiancardio @enrico_cerrato @micari_antonio @FelixMahfoud

I would say that the KISS trial @JACCJournals not only proved that you do not need to do routine SB intervention (commonly kissing), rather I would say the most significant change is proving the concept of POT-side-POT (done in 57% of SB interventions and seems to be more favorable than kissing). I have been recently doing POT-side-POT instead of kissing when I need SBI and that study proved it can be better!

JUST OUT #JACCINT @JACCJournals in time for #EuroPCR2026 @PCRonline next week! Next Wed 5/20 in Paris we will present our proposed "Split Line" conceptual framework to simplify procedural planning and workflow in leaflet modification in #RedoTAVR. Unlike native AV and surgical AV, where it's easier to ID the cusp nadir for leaflet modification, #TAVR frame with no consistent commissural alignment, has no visible leaflet insertion line to ID the nadir to guide modification. Using bench models we have for the FIRST TIME describe a 4-step process to guide planning for leaflet modification in redo-TAVR. We ID the various #TAVR frame and leaflet relationships, such that we can use CT-fluoro relationships to ID the coronary facing node on the frame to plan for leaflet modification. The "Split Line" makes it easier to standardize the leaflet modification planning procedure in redo-TAVR by identifying the ideal fluoroscopic node and position to perform the traversal and splitting. Bench and clinical studies are ongoing to validate our proposed concept. Thank you @DoctorKini @KiniThinkTank for coming with this idea and #TakayukOnishi for helping our @MountSinaiHeart heart team for crossing the finish line on this project! jacc.org/doi/epdf/10.10… @KHERA_MD @LucySafi @AmithoodaMD @sunnygoelmd @BhavanPentaMD @georgedangas @bapat_savrtavr @Miho_Fukui_ @CathElectroSurg @sellers_steph @DLBHATTMD @Drroxmehran @Dr_BrendanCarr @DrDavidReich

Until next time, thank you to all our attendees, faculty and sponsors for making this an amazing event 🙌 @escardio Endorsed by @sicigise #EAPCIfamily #EAPCIcommunity #EAPCIeducationalpathway

Aspirin’s long reign after PCI may be over—HOST-EXAM shows clopidogrel wins at 10 years.

The EAPCI joins the world in mourning the Father of Modern Cardiology, Professor Eugene Braunwald. We have lost more than a researcher. We have lost a mentor, a visionary, and a friend to the heart. Rest in peace, Professor.
