Left main complications - Part 2

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Summary

This session covers intricate complications involving the left main coronary artery (LMCA), highlighting cases of catheter-induced dissections, challenges in chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, and rare scenarios such as stent entrapment and complex re-interventions. Emphasis is placed on the critical utility of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and strategic approaches to navigate these high-stakes situations.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Daughter catheter-induced LMCA dissection and a compromised patient - A nightmare in cathlab
  • Nightmare during CTO PCI - Crucial role of IVUS while continuing PCI with minimal contrast
  • Between the cells: a hidden trap in left main re-intervention
  • Prison break
  • When stent stuck in left circumflex ostium
  • An usual left main plasty with a U turn
