Imaging and physiology-guided DCB strategy

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: C. Spaulding, D. Arroyo

Summary

Delve into advanced imaging and physiology-guided drug-coated balloon (DCB) strategies for complex coronary lesions. This session presents integrated approaches combining morphology and physiology, OCT guidance, and real-world cases highlighting DCB use in multivessel disease and calcified lesions.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • When physiology meets morphology: an integrated approach to complex lesions
  • Stretching the rules: physiology-guided DEB angioplasty of the left anterior descending artery
  • OCT-Guided DCB-first PCI for left anterior descending artery disease: the thin line between less and too little
  • Complete revascularisation with PCI with DCB alone strategy, angio-based (µFR) guided
  • Severely calcified nodular ostial circumflex lesion: a challenging scenario for revascularisation
  • Mechanism- and physiology-guided DCB-only PCI in complex multivessel disease: IVUS and vFFR insights
