Beyond stent: use of DCB in CTO

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: S. Alam, D. Giacoppo

Speakers: A. Pylko, M. Sultonov, H. Kassem, N. Cong Thanh

Summary

This session focuses on the innovative use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions. It reviews combined plaque modification techniques, complex multivessel PCI cases involving CTOs, and strategy considerations such as hybrid therapy versus full metal jacket, emphasizing vessel biology preservation during revascularisation.

Presentations available when logged in:

Combined plaque modification techniques and DEB-only strategy in a calcified CTO
Complex multivessel PCI involving left main-LAD disease and calcified RCA CTO revascularisation
The power of the grenade
Complex right coronary artery CTO with diffuse disease: hybrid therapy or full metal jacket?
Revascularisation of left circumflex chronic total occlusion while respecting vessel biology
