Intracoronary imaging evaluation of stent implantation

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions

Moderators: B. Hennessey, R. Galea

Summary

Focusing on intracoronary imaging evaluation of stent implantation, this session presents serial OCT data on plaque characteristics and neoatherosclerosis post-STEMI, the clinical impact of stent malapposition in ACS, long-term apposition dynamics, factors influencing stent expansion in calcified lesions by NIRS-IVUS, and OCT insights into coronary artery aneurysm remodeling.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Underlying plaque type and neoatherosclerosis after STEMI: serial OCT substudy of the CONNECT trial
  • Clinical impact of acute and late stent malapposition in patients with ACS
  • Long-term natural history of stent apposition in STEMI patients: substudy of the CONNECT trial
  • A novel factor for stent expansion in severely calcified coronary lesions detected by NIRS-IVUS
  • OCT-derived Insights into coronary artery aneurysm remodeling from the CARED-POL registry
