Track: Interventional Cardiology

Interventional Cardiology

Interventional cardiology continues to redefine what is achievable without open surgery. TAVI now accounts for the majority of aortic valve replacements across all surgical risk categories, and transcatheter therapies are rapidly expanding to mitral and tricuspid valve disease. The Interventional Cardiology session examines 5-year TAVI outcomes in low-risk patients, the COAPT-established evidence base for transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER), emerging transcatheter tricuspid therapies, left atrial appendage occlusion, and physiology-guided PCI using iFR/FFR with intravascular imaging - including chronic total occlusion PCI and complex left main disease management.

Key Discussion Areas

  • Advances in complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
  • Transcatheter approaches to structural heart disease
  • Intracoronary imaging and physiology-guided intervention
  • Techniques for chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization
  • Emerging device technology and procedural innovation
  • Procedural safety, complications, and outcomes data

Intervention Focus Areas

  • Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
  • Transcatheter Structural Heart Procedures
  • Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Techniques
  • Intravascular Imaging & Physiology-Guided PCI
  • Peripheral & Endovascular Interventions
  • Device & Technology Innovation

Why Attend This Session?

Interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, structural heart disease teams, and cath lab professionals will gain comprehensive updates on trial evidence, device selection algorithms, and operator technique across coronary and structural heart interventions, bridging innovation with real-world implementation.

Practical Gains for Interventionalists

  • Updated evidence on TAVI indications and outcomes across risk categories
  • Intravascular imaging techniques — when, which, and how to optimise results
  • Case-based learning on complex PCI strategies including bifurcations and CTOs
  • Emerging data on structural heart interventions beyond aortic valve replacement
