Challenges during PCI on bifurcation

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Summary

This session addresses the complexities of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in bifurcation lesions. It discusses decision-making strategies, techniques to avoid implanting permanent devices, the use of IVUS-guided laser atherectomy for restenosis, and approaches to challenging double bifurcation lesions including drug-coated balloon therapy.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Decision-making in a complex coronary bifurcation lesion
  • IVUS-guided laser atherectomy for left main bifurcation in-stent restenosis
  • My worst nightmare
  • Double bifurcation lesion in the left anterior descending artery: a DCB approach
