Angiography-based physiology: time to change your routine clinical practice?
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session offers a critical appraisal of angiography-based physiology, with a focus on virtual fractional flow reserve (vFFR) technology. It reviews the latest clinical evidence, including insights from the FAST study programme and the FAST III randomised controlled trial. Gain a clear understanding of current guideline...
Where to leave less behind: non-invasive CT and angiography-derived physiology for DCB lesion selection
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session elucidates the role of non-invasive coronary CT and angiography-derived physiology in guiding lesion selection for drug-eluting balloon PCI. It emphasises integrating anatomical and physiological data to refine lesion preparation, strategy, and validation beyond angiography, and identifies scenarios where DEB PCI may not be optimal,...
Left main PCI treatment: how Ultreon 3.0 can improve decision making and achieve optimised outcomes
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores how to optimise left main PCI through the integration of intracoronary imaging and physiology using Ultreon 3.0 software. It highlights how this innovative technology supports decision-making, procedural planning, and stent optimisation to improve outcomes in complex lesion management.
PRISM-PCI - From clarity to cure
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
PRISM-PCI offers cutting-edge imaging innovations and treatment strategies aimed at optimizing complex PCI procedures. This session explores the 'leave nothing behind' concept with thin-strut bioresorbable scaffolds and sirolimus drug-coated balloons, updates on ultra thin-strut DES platforms, including the SORT OUT XII trial, and introduces a comprehensive...
Is the plaque-biology assessment the future of imaging?
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Javier Escaned and Thomas Keeble discuss how near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is emerging as a valuable tool to assess plaque biology in coronary arteries by measuring lipid content, a key marker of plaque vulnerability. Unlike traditional imaging that mainly describes structure, NIRS identifies high-risk, lipid-rich plaques using...
Calcium Skills Lab: EuroPCR 2026 highlights
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
As the management of heavily calcified coronary lesions becomes increasingly complex, the need for practical, hands-on education continues to grow. At EuroPCR 2026, a brand-new initiative aims to address this challenge: the Calcium Skills Lab.
In this discussion, Angela McInerney and Mohamed Abdel-Wahab present this innovative programme...
Rapid CT-guided emergency TAVI-in-TAVI-in-valve for cardiogenic shock with high coronary obstruction risk
14 Apr 2026
An 85-year-old man presented in cardiogenic shock with torrential aortic regurgitation after prior surgical and TAVI valve-in-valve procedures. With high coronary obstruction risk, urgent CT assessment and in-silico simulations guided a rapid redo TAVI-in-TAVI-in-valve implantation, demonstrating that CT-assisted emergency redo-TAVI is feasible and lifesaving in high-risk...
ALL-RISE: A large-scale, global randomized trial of coronary physiology derived from conventional angiography compared with an invasive pressure wire-based approach to guide PCI
28 Mar 2026
Mirvat Al Asnag provides her take on the ALL-RISE randomised trial presented by Ajay J. Kirtane at ACC.26 in New Orleans.
