Stent failure evaluation with intracoronary imaging

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Summary

This session provides an in-depth evaluation of stent failure using intracoronary imaging modalities such as IVUS and OCT. It presents diverse cases illustrating late drug-eluting stent failure, in-stent restenosis, neoatherosclerosis, and complications following rotational atherectomy, underscoring imaging's role in diagnosis and guiding reintervention.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Very late drug-eluting stent failure 10 years after implantation in a statin-intolerant patient
  • Seeing beyond the lumen: IVUS-guided PCI for ostial left circumflex artery in-stent restenosis
  • In-stent neoatherosclerosis 26 years after stent implantation: OCT findings
  • No solve without flow: an IVUS surprise in an in-stent CTO of a magnesium BVS
  • An unusual late sequela of rotational atherectomy
