PCI in cardiogenic shock - Possibilities and limitations

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: J. Daemen, M. Sabate

Summary

This session evaluates percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the context of cardiogenic shock, discussing both possibilities and limitations. It features complex cases including Impella-supported rotablation in elderly patients, microaxial flow pump use, and challenging interventions in young patients with multivessel chronic total occlusions, providing insights into advanced mechanical support and PCI techniques under critical conditions.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Feasibility at extreme: impella-supported rotablation PCI in nonagenarian ACS with cardiogenic shock
  • Rocks and lightnings
  • Microaxial flow pump use in the non-danger shock patient
  • Early after cardiogenic shock antegrade PCI of a calcified left anterior descending artery CTO in a patient with multivessel CTO
