PCI: from basics to robots
Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2024 Abstract submissions
Summary
This session covers a wide range of topics in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), from fundamental aspects to the latest advancements. It includes discussions on non-fasting versus fasting before interventional procedures, radial artery puncture hemostasis, ultrasound-guided transfemoral puncture in complex PCI, the use of uninterrupted direct-acting oral anticoagulants, the effect of cangrelor on infarct size in STEMI, the impact of enhanced stent visualization, the development of guidewire-based magnetic microrobots, and the experience from a multicentre registry on robotically assisted PCI. The session aims to provide a comprehensive overview of both basic and cutting-edge PCI techniques and technologies.
