Diagnosis and management of INOCA and ANOCA
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on the diagnosis and management of ischemia and angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA and ANOCA). It presents safety data from coronary function testing, patient outcomes after comprehensive ischemia assessment, and endotype-specific treatment effects. Further topics include coronary sinus reducer therapy, the impact...
New tools for risk stratification in STEMI
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights novel tools and scores for risk stratification in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. It covers prognostic indices such as the index of microcirculatory resistance, the PREDICT-STEMI score, thrombus characteristics, sex differences in outcomes, renal impairment impacts, and benefits of complete revascularization strategies.
PCR's Got Talent Round 1 - Session 1
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This dynamic session from PCR's Got Talent Round 1 presents a diverse array of cutting-edge research and clinical findings. Topics include the influence of local and systemic inflammation on PCI outcomes, adherence to OCT-guided PCI metrics, comparative guidance strategies using angiography-derived FFR and IVUS, and the...
DCB in de novo lesions: new valid option?
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore the emerging role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in treating de novo coronary lesions. This session discusses complexity management, comparisons with drug-eluting stents (DES), and the potential of DCBs as valuable alternatives, especially in high bleeding risk patients.
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.
Challenging scenarios in STEMI
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session features selected clinical case submissions highlighting challenging scenarios in the management of STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) patients. Participants will learn about complex cases, such as left main time bomb, coronary anomalies, simultaneous two-vessel acute coronary thrombosis, and mechanical complications. The session includes case presentations...
Intervention around arterial hypertension
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Explore the realm of interventions in the context of arterial hypertension in this session: witness the remote haemodynamic monitoring of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension, uncover the case of unilateral renal atrophy four years after renal sympathetic denervation, break the "boundaries" posed by calcification in renovascular hypertension,...
