Two important trials presented at ACC.13 are open for discussion at EuroPCR!

First introduced at ACC.13 last March, these two significant trials will be revisited this May at EuroPCR.

The emphasis is on interaction - post your questions, comments and observations online and they will shape the presentations in the Main arena!

- Champion Phoenix: anti-ischaemic effects of cangrelor during PCI
- STREAM: early fibrinolysis or primary PCI in STEMI
