PCR Seminars 2026: education brought to your doorstep!
Management of patients with bifurcation lesions with or without a left main disease
19–20 January 2026 – Tbilisi, Georgia
PCR Seminar supported by Medtronic
The PCR Seminar in Tbilisi gathered 38 participants for a two‑day in‑depth educational programme dedicated to the management of coronary bifurcation lesions, including those involving the left main. PCR facilitators Goran Stanković and Flavio Ribichini led the sessions, offering expert guidance and fostering a highly interactive learning environment.
Participants followed a comprehensive curriculum encompassing the full spectrum of bifurcation PCI strategies, from the fundamentals of the provisional stenting approach to the selection and execution of two‑stent techniques.
The programme also included dedicated sessions on the use of drug‑coated balloons (DCB) in bifurcations, with specific focus on hybrid and full‑DCB workflows and the management of Medina 0.0.1 lesions. Discussions covered technical decision‑making, optimisation steps, and approaches to challenging anatomies such as isolated ostial LCx disease.
A key feature of the Seminar was the presentation of clinical cases directly from the participants’ own hospitals. These real‑world scenarios sparked dynamic exchanges, with lively discussion around treatment strategies, technical decision‑making and procedural challenges encountered in daily practice.
Participants highlighted the clarity of the faculty explanations, the quality of the case‑based discussions, and the high degree of interactivity. The educational content was consistently rated as highly applicable to daily practice, reflecting the strong impact of the Seminar within the region.
