Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions
Moderators:
S. Iwanczyk, A. Alshehri
Summary
This session explores bench testing insights into real-world percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Topics include comparative expansion ratios of coronary stents, prognostic assessments after drug-coated balloon treatments, mechanical performance of magnesium scaffolds in bifurcations, preclinical safety and computational modeling of bioresorbable polymer-coated stents, and evaluations of commonly used angioplasty balloons.
