Unusual clinical cases: thinking beyond the routine

22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session presents unusual and challenging clinical cases that extend beyond routine interventional cardiology. From optimised in-stent restenosis treatment to rare anatomical anomalies and complex thrombus management, it offers valuable lessons in creative problem-solving and advanced intervention techniques.

Complex left main patients and PCI

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addressed the complexities of left main PCI, focusing on managing hemodynamic uncertainty in high-risk interventions, advanced techniques such as ultra-low contrast rota-tripsy PCI, precise stent positioning, and pragmatic approaches to CHIP cases, emphasizing contrast-sparing strategies and best practice balancing.

PCI for complex left main disease

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session delves into the complexities of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disease, emphasizing strategic approaches to dual critical lesions and innovative techniques such as excimer laser and drug-eluting balloons. It also explores hybrid strategies for treating in-stent restenosis and redo revascularisation, offering a...

Devices combination for calcified lesion

20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

Discover effective device combinations and strategies for managing heavily calcified coronary lesions. This session covers lesion planning using coronary orbit mapping, OCT-guided calcium node identification, rotatripsy techniques, and approaches to complex ostial right coronary artery occlusions, providing practical solutions to challenging calcium riddles.
