Innovations in stentless coronary intervention: from DCB technologies to bioresorbable scaffolds
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session delves into the evolving landscape of stentless coronary interventions, focusing on the structural diversity of Drug-Coated Balloons (DCB) and the promising future of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS). It emphasizes the role of intracoronary imaging, particularly OCT, in optimizing these therapies. Attendees gain a comprehensive understanding...
NIRS-guided PCI: beyond calcium to precision PCI
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session explores how near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is redefining PCI by revealing what angiography cannot see. By identifying lipid-rich and vulnerable plaques, NIRS helps anticipate procedural risk and refine decision-making before stent implantation. The session shows how plaque composition, rather than calcium alone, can guide lesion...
Challenging Cases
10 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session presents a series of challenging cardiology cases that span a spectrum of clinical scenarios, including innovative approaches to hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy management, rare coronary artery anomalies, fibrous lesions, and unusual acute coronary syndromes. These case studies highlight diagnostic complexities and therapeutic strategies essential for...
Prediction and prevention of coronary artery obstruction during TAVI
29 Sep 2025 – From PCR Gulf Valves 2025
This session delivers expert insights into predicting and preventing coronary artery obstruction during TAVI procedures. Attendees will learn comprehensive assessment strategies for both native and bioprosthetic valves and explore advanced techniques to minimize occlusion risk in high-risk patients, including discussion of the UNICORN approach.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place: when calcium is the enemy!
07 Dec 2023 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2023
Have you ever wondered what tools and techniques to use when faced with calcified lesions? Watch this session to discover various cases of severely calcified lesions: the use of IVUS guidance and rota-cut when faced with tough calcium, PCI of a stubborn fibrotic coronary lesion, as...
OCT-guided PCI for a patient with calcified lesion
07 Dec 2023 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2023
Consult this session to gain insights into the significance of actionable intracoronary imaging in the patient treatment journey and acquire knowledge on adopting procedural strategies. Learn about the effective utilisation of orbital atherectomy for plaque modification and the impact of DES platforms in the management of...
Learning bifurcation PCI
06 Dec 2023 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2023
Through the case of a 72-year-old hypertensive patient presenting with chest pain that had been there for 15 days but had suddenly intensified, followed by that of a second patient suffering from side-branch stenosis, learn more about provisional stenting and the two-stent strategy, and explore the...
Challenging and complication cases
14 Dec 2022 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2022
Among the 5 cases presented in this GulfPCR-GIM 2022 session, learn more about post aortic valve replacement complications, complex bicuspid TAVI, or primary PCI for re-implanted left main trunk post aortic root replacement, among others!
Ultra low contrast PCI in chronic kidney disease: what tools do we have? How to perform? How to achieve optimal outcome? How low can you go?
22 Dec 2021 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2021
Don't miss this session to understand how to perform ultra-low contrast PCI in complex disease and to discover SyncVision co-registration, Dynamic Coronary Roadmap, and the benefits for Azurion to perform ultra-low contrast PCI.
A short history of the Euro4C Group
16 Jan 2019
Who better to recount its history than the inaugural President of the Euro4C Group? Additionally, insights are provided by the Chairman of PCR, the former EAPCI President, and a pivotal member of the editorial team.
