Double face of DCB in clinical practice

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: S. Bangalore, R. Van Geuns

Speakers: V. A. Jimenez Diaz, A. Jerónimo, D. L. Munawar, A. Cader, Y. Samuel, M. A. Sadiq

Summary

This session examines the dual aspects of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in clinical practice through diverse case studies. Topics include DCB use in left main STEMI, OCT-guided management of in-stent restenosis, expanding indications for complex PCI, and challenges such as DCB failure and decision-making between drug-eluting balloons and stents in diffuse disease. The session highlights both the potential and limitations of DCB technology in contemporary interventions.

Presentations available when logged in:
