Place of DCB in clinical practice

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: N. Schofer, A. Alcocer

Summary

This session explores the clinical applications of drug-coated balloons (DCB) across diverse challenging scenarios. It covers management of severely calcified nodules in acute coronary syndrome, healing of intentional dissections in chronic total occlusions using paclitaxel DCB, strategic integration of contemporary technology in complex lesion treatment, and novel full drug coating approaches for high bleeding risk patients with multivessel disease, highlighting the evolving role of DCB in interventional cardiology.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Severely calcified nodule in ACS: a challenging scenario
  • From false lumen to functional artery: healing of intentional dissections with paclitaxel DCB in CTO
  • Nowhere to land - When strategy is paired with contemporary technology
  • Full drug jacket; a novel approach for a high bleeding risk patient with multivessel disease
