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.

🎥 Hear from our Course Directors as they share what to expect from the Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) Workshop in Turin, Italy. Delivered in scientific collaboration with Acute CardioVascular Care (ACVC) and the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) of the ESC. Join this hands-on workshop designed for the entire multidisciplinary team, including surgeons, anaesthesiologists, perfusionists, acute care specialists, interventional cardiologists and heart failure nurses. Now in its third year, this Workshop combines practical training with focused lectures, giving you both the skills and the theory behind MCS. Over two intensive days, you’ll gain experience in key techniques, from ECMO and VAD implantation to imaging and patient selection, working directly with simulators, devices and expert faculty. 🗓️ 26-27 June 2026 📍 Turin, Italy ⚠️ Places are limited! Secure your spot today ⛓️‍💥 eacts.org/education/eact… @EAPCIPresident, @alaide_chief, @marioiancardio, @VPanoulas, @ACVCPresident, @ASionis

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and colleague Prof. Matteo Montorfano. He was a long-standing member of the EAPCI community, who generously shared his expertise and energy. The cardiovascular community has lost an innovative, extremely capable interventional cardiologist who educated many trainees and fellows. Our thoughts and sympathy go out to his family and colleagues in this terrible moment.
