Calcium and complications management in bifurcation
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Address calcium-related challenges and complication management in coronary bifurcation PCI. This session reviews the impact of intraprocedural complications during two-stent techniques, procedural success and one-year outcomes of intravascular lithotripsy in calcific bifurcations and unprotected left main PCI, and bench-test analyses of perforation management. Additionally, it compares...
Management of bifurcation treatment in high-risk patients
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore advanced management strategies for bifurcation treatment in high-risk patients. This session presents techniques including circulatory-supported polymer-free angioplasty, management of spontaneous aorto-coronary dissection-induced cardiac arrest, and innovative reverse controlled balloon-crush methods, supported by challenging case studies.
Left main stenting techniques
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Examine advanced left main stenting techniques including DK crush and mini-crush strategies for complex bifurcation lesions. This session reviews stent malapposition in trifurcations, novel stent expansion outcomes, bifurcation angle correlations, and clinical results of double kissing crush versus culotte techniques.
High-risk left main PCI
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Delve into the complexities of high-risk left main PCI with a focus on procedural planning and managing unexpected challenges such as spontaneous coronary artery dissection. Learn valuable strategies including contingency planning to optimize outcomes in complex interventions.
Best of science and education in cardiovascular interventional medicine in 2024
16 Dec 2024
Dear Colleagues, dear PCR Companions,
As we welcome a new year, it is the perfect time to reflect on what we achieved together over the past year—both as a celebration of our successes and as motivation to continue improving in the year ahead.
2024 was a record year...
Expect trouble when calcium meets tortuous anatomy
01 Aug 2024
This case illustrates the challenges of managing a previously bypassed patient in an acute setting with LM disease and high calcium burden involving LAD and Cx ostias, and occlusion of the venous graft towards the Cx. The tortuous anatomy is a further hurdle to management and choice...

Make your life easier with imaging during primary PCI for acute coronary syndrome
15 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session features selected EuroPCR 2024 Clinical Case submissions highlighting the use of imaging modalities, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), during primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome. Experts will present and discuss challenging cases, demonstrating how the integration...
Stenting techniques in bifurcation lesions
15 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Thanks to this EuroPCR 2024 session, explore temporal trends in left main bifurcation PCI, study geometric variations in coronary arteries at bifurcations, and decode Medina 0-0-1 bifurcations. Learn to compare mini-crush and TAP stenting techniques, analyze cardiovascular outcomes, and evaluate the POKI technique versus kissing balloon...
