Optimising CTO outcomes by lesion selection
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Optimize chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI outcomes through lesion selection strategies. This session reviews coronary calcium patterns via CT, target vessel considerations, distal vessel remodeling, imaging-guided versus conventional approaches, and complex lesion cases.

Left ventricle assist device for very high-risk PCI
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Discover the role of left ventricle assist devices in very high-risk PCI cases. This session features complex interventions combining Impella support, advanced imaging, rotational atherectomy, bifurcation and CTO techniques, and fully percutaneous ECMO-assisted procedures under local anesthesia.

High-risk PCI in cardiogenic shock and calcified vessels
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Looking for a better insight into this session devoted to high-risk PCI in cardiogenic shock and calcified vessels? Revisit the slides presented and review the detailed results of a series of important studies conducted on the subject.

Unusual causes of stent failure
28 Apr 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021
Find out more about very late in-scaffold restenosis, consider a shocking treatment for stent underexpansion due to neoatherosclerosis, appreciate coronary intravascular lithotripsy to treat an under-expanded stent, and much more in this session!

CTO: imaging and devices
14 Apr 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021
Thanks to this session, learn how to recanalize a chronic total occlusion of the right coronary artery, how IVUS can facilitate and guide PCI to ostial left circumflex CTO, how hi-tech devices are also needed in calcified artery occlusions, and even more!
