CT and intracoronary imaging evaluation of coronary disease
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on advanced imaging modalities for evaluating coronary artery disease, including the clinical application of CT angiography and intracoronary imaging techniques like OCT and IVUS. Topics encompass barriers to OCT usage, the impact of plaque composition on PCI outcomes, advances in photon-counting CT technology,...
A series of complex real-word challenges STEMI treatment from very different countries
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session showcases a series of complex STEMI treatment challenges from diverse international settings, highlighting difficult coronary anatomies and complicated procedures. It discusses nuanced clinical scenarios where artery recanalisation does not always equate to reperfusion, and presents stepwise approaches to managing multivessel disease, renal failure, and...
Revascularisation in patients with multivessel disease and severe left ventricular impairment
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on revascularisation strategies for patients with multivessel coronary disease complicated by severe left ventricular impairment. It emphasizes patient selection criteria, the crucial role of the heart team in decision-making, and optimization of percutaneous revascularisation outcomes. The content includes comprehensive case presentations and discussions...
Vascular access: femoral and radial
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores vascular access techniques in interventional cardiology, emphasizing both femoral and radial approaches. It covers access-related bleeding and ischemic complications, safety and efficacy of distal radial programs, and innovations in sheath technology. Additional topics include post-procedural mobilization, management of radial artery recanalization, balloon fenestration...
Stent failure: don't guess, just see!
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Investigate causes and imaging-based solutions for stent failure in this session. Topics include management of refractory stent underexpansion using lithotripsy or stent ablation, OCT perspectives on iatrogenic aortic dissection during PCI for in-stent restenosis, and analyses of bioresorbable scaffold failure. Gain insights into complex stenting techniques...
Primary PCI for STEMI – Optimising outcomes
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Optimize primary PCI outcomes for STEMI patients by integrating state-of-the-art techniques and coronary physiology insights. The session includes case discussions highlighting treatment strategies and key learnings to enhance clinical practice.
PCI of bifurcation lesions: management of complications - Part 1
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Explore strategies for managing complex PCI of bifurcation lesions through case discussions. From stent deformation and delicate diagonal wiring to wire fracture with snare failure, decoiled coronary guidewires, misplaced stents, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and late tamponade after PCI, this session covers how to effectively respond...
