Bifurcation PCI with complications - Part 1

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: A. Almoghairi, E. Okuyan

Summary

This session addresses complications encountered during bifurcation PCI through real-world cases involving stent dislodgement, entrapped guidewires, failed wiring techniques, and fractured devices. It highlights technical rescue maneuvers, the role of intravascular imaging, and long-term challenges encountered in managing complex bifurcation lesions to improve procedural success and patient safety.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Stent dislodgement at a previously stented bifurcation: technical rescue and intravascular imaging
  • Percutaneous management of an entrapped and fractured guidewire beneath the left main coronary artery
  • Failed reverse wire technique in Medina 1,1,1 left circumflex - obtuse marginal bifurcation with difficult angle
  • A breath away from disaster
  • A decade after simultaneous kissing stenting in the left main: challenges in a NSTEMI PCI
