Calcium in the coronary arteries - What could go wrong?
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into the complexities of treating calcified coronary artery lesions, highlighting strategic selection of PCI approaches, anticipation of potential complications, and agile adaptation of techniques to manage these challenges effectively. Featuring real-world cases from Ireland and the United Kingdom, it provides critical learnings on...
TAVI sub-studies - Beyond the primary endpoint
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews key sub-studies from major TAVI trials that extend beyond primary endpoints to provide a deeper understanding of valve performance and patient outcomes. It covers comparisons between balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves, long-term real-world data on the Myval valve, echocardiographic outcomes, composite endpoint analyses, and...
Intracoronary imaging evaluation of stent implantation
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focusing on intracoronary imaging evaluation of stent implantation, this session presents serial OCT data on plaque characteristics and neoatherosclerosis post-STEMI, the clinical impact of stent malapposition in ACS, long-term apposition dynamics, factors influencing stent expansion in calcified lesions by NIRS-IVUS, and OCT insights into coronary artery...
Procedural planning and risk stratification in multivessel PCI
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session focuses on procedural planning and risk stratification in multivessel PCI, presenting data from the TALENT and FIRE trials, prognostic value of post-PCI physiological assessments, and an innovative study comparing large language models in managing complex interventional cardiology cases.
Ultra-low contrast techniques to improve the safety and quality of PCI in complex and high-risk patients
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Tune in to this session to discover how reducing reliance on contrast opacification enhances procedural safety and enables more thorough revascularization in complex PCI scenarios. Learn that ultra-low contrast (ULC) PCI encompasses various interventional skills and specialized tools, many already familiar to interventional cardiologists. Embrace a...
Haemodynamic performance and clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the self-expanding ACURATE Neo2
09 Jun 2022
The ACURATE neo2 valve was developed to reduce the risk of paravalvular AR with an increased sealing skirt. This retrospective study aimed to compare TAVI with the ACURATE neo and neo2 devices.
