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.
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...
Complex multivessel disease - LIVE Case
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
An 89-year-old male patient presented with stable angina, preserved LV function and some risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes. CT scan and angiography revealed occlusion of proximal RCA and bifurcation lesions on LAD and circumflex (medina 1,1,1). Operators treated the bifurcation lesions with provisional stenting.
Regarding...
How should I treat this vulnerable plaque?
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Learn to identify and manage vulnerable plaque using intracoronary imaging. This session covers detection techniques, clinical implications, current evidence for treatment, and case-based insights to improve patient outcomes through targeted intervention.
Role of imaging in ACS: from non-invasive to invasive investigations
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore the critical role of imaging in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) from non-invasive coronary CT angiography to invasive intracoronary imaging modalities. This session covers detection of culprit lesions, diagnostic strategies, and PCI optimization through real-world case examples.
From imaging to intervention: cutting-edge solutions for calcified coronary stenoses management
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Watch this EuroPCR 2025 session on managing calcified coronary stenoses, featuring a recorded live case, two focused lectures, and expert faculty insights.

Complex calcified lesions: combination of intravascular imaging and orbital atherectomy for optimal outcomes
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
In this EuroPCR 2025 session on complex calcified coronary lesions, follow a step-by-step analysis of a recorded case structured in three key phases: lesion assessment with OCT, PCI using orbital atherectomy, and post-PCI optimisation with follow-up OCT imaging. Gain valuable insights into managing severely calcified lesions,...
Benefits of IVUS plus near-infrared spectroscopy in detecting and managing vulnerable plaques
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
At EuroPCR 2025, Nilesh Pareek and Thomas Keeble discuss the clinical value and future potential of NIRS IVUS, a dual-modality imaging system developed by Nipro that combines intravascular ultrasound with near-infrared spectroscopy.
The Makoto™ system and Dualpro™ catheter allow real-time identification of lipid-rich plaques by providing both...
How to manage treatment dilemmas in STEMI patients with multivessel disease?
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Managing STEMI patients with multivessel disease is a complex challenge evolving rapidly thanks to new clinical evidence. Angela Mcinerney, Natalia Pinilla, and Matthias Götberg explore how findings from the COMPLETE trial and its intracoronary imaging substudy are reshaping treatment strategies.
Their discussion highlights the role of intracoronary...
What are the fundamentals of an upfront two-stent strategy for bifurcation PCI?
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Nicola Ryan explores the fundamentals of an upfront two-stent strategy in bifurcation PCI with Dejan Milasinovic. When the side branch shows significant, high-grade stenosis or extensive disease, direct treatment—via POBA, DCB, or a second stent—may be preferred. Anatomy guides the decision between provisional and two-stent strategies,...
