PCI for complex bifurcation disease - LIVE Case
23 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
A 60-year-old male patient presented with an inferior STEMI one month ago, which was treated with RCA and LCx PCI. He was referred for LAD/diagonal PCI. The LV function was reduced (EF 45 %). The team performed a DK crush PCI, guided by IVUS.

Navigating complexity in high-risk patients with multivessel disease undergoing PCI
23 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This educational session focuses on navigating the complexities of PCI in high-risk patients with multivessel disease. Learn the roles of imaging and physiology, low-contrast PCI techniques, and optimal strategies for patients with concomitant aortic stenosis, illustrated through detailed case discussions.
Vulnerable plaque PCI after PREVENT
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This interview with Michael Haude and Thomas Cuisset explores findings from the PREVENT trial, which included over 1,600 patients with vulnerable, physiologically non-significant plaques identified by IVUS.
Patients were randomised to optimal medical therapy (OMT) alone or OMT plus preventive PCI. While the composite endpoint favoured the PCI...
A mindset shift in the cathlab: leveraging contemporary technologies for planning and guiding PCI in complex patients
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session examines evolving catheterisation lab workflows, highlighting how integrated imaging, physiology, and procedural strategies are reshaping PCI practices. Speakers emphasize the importance of advanced pre-procedural planning using modalities such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to optimise stent deployment, and cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to improve diagnosis...
The role of DCB in non-left main true bifurcations
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session offers a detailed exploration of drug-coated balloon (DCB) use in non-left main true bifurcation lesions. Learn to define suitable lesion characteristics for provisional stenting, understand stepwise procedural strategies minimizing implanted material, and appreciate the role of intravascular imaging in assessing bifurcation complexity and optimizing...
Integrating CT coronary angiography into your PCI practice
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Integrate CT coronary angiography into your PCI practice to enhance procedural planning and outcomes. This session covers practical CT-based approaches for guiding catheter selection, lesion analysis, and stenting strategy. Learn how to leverage CT imaging to anticipate plaque preparation needs in calcified lesions and optimize catheterization...
Imaging makes it clear!
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore the critical role of intravascular imaging in interventional cardiology through real-world cases. This session highlights the value of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in avoiding unnecessary stenting in STEMI patients, the application of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in complex scenarios, and the management of calcified lesions with...
Beyond angiography: imaging-guided solutions for stent failure
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Stent failure remains a critical challenge in interventional cardiology — but intracoronary imaging can change the outcome. This session goes beyond angiography to examine why stents fail, how to detect underlying causes, and how imaging-guided strategies can help tailor reintervention. Two real-life cases, from complex restenosis...
Imaging coronary artery disease – New frontiers
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Delve into new frontiers in imaging coronary artery disease, shifting focus from ischemia to plaque characteristics for revascularisation decisions. This session highlights the pivotal role of intracoronary imaging in understanding complex vessel anatomy and planning treatment, illustrated through detailed case studies showcasing unusual anatomies requiring tailored...
ACS with normal coronary arteries: angiography done, job done?
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Understand the clinical significance of MINOCA and learn diagnostic strategies integrating invasive and non-invasive tests to identify underlying etiologies. This session provides therapeutic insights tailored to specific MINOCA endotypes through illustrative cases.
