Tackling calcified lesions with IVUS guidance and optimisation
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into the critical role of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in characterizing and managing calcified coronary lesions. Attendees can explore an imaging-guided approach to calcium treatment, including case presentations that demonstrate stent selection and procedural optimization. Emphasis is placed on applying imaging-based optimization metrics to...
New evidence for coronary physiology in epicardial disease
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Explore new evidence in coronary physiology related to epicardial disease through analyses of landmark trials and registries. Topics include five-year follow-up data from DEFINE-FLAIR and iFR-SWEDEHEART, complete revascularization in elderly myocardial infarction patients, angiography-derived versus pressure wire assessments, prognostic implications of CT angiography-derived physiology, and the...
Drug-coated balloons: a PREVAIL-ing gamechanger in complex PCI
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
Focus on the evolving role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in complex PCI, extending their use beyond traditional indications to challenging coronary lesions and high-risk patient populations. This session reviews clinical data from the SCAAR Prevail registry and discusses the evidence journey supporting broader advocacy for DCB...
Expanding horizons in coronary calcified lesion management with intravascular lithotripsy
10 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
This session highlights advancements in managing coronary calcified lesions through intravascular lithotripsy using the Shockwave system. It discusses the unique mechanism of action for different calcium morphologies, reviews the latest clinical data, and addresses complex scenarios including diffuse lesions and challenging nodular or eccentric calcium deposits,...
Cracking new horizons across all calcium morphologies
04 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
This session explores the challenges of treating calcified lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Learn how calcium can impede stent deliverability and expansion, potentially leading to thrombosis and restenosis. Discover the innovative Shockwave IVL technology, which uses sonic pressure waves to fracture calcium without harming surrounding...
Treating patients with drug-coated balloons – what is the optimal result?
12 Apr 2024
Watch this webinar with F. L. Ribichini, F. Alfonso, C. C. Frankie Tam and A. G. Zaman on how to prepare lesions for drug-coated ballons-based PCI and much more!
DCB and the possibility of a clean vessel
17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
This EuroPCR 2022 session aims to show, based on real-life cases, that even complex coronary disease can be treated without the need for permanent coronary stents. Learn how to prepare the vessel, deliver the therapy, and assess immediate outcomes after "DCB-alone" PCI, discuss de novo, small vessels, and...
A case-based approach: finding balance between bleeding and ischemic risk
19 May 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021
Watch this session presented by David Kandzari, Mirvat Alasnag, Emmanouil Brilakis, Chorcheung Frankie Tam and Beatriz Vaquerizo in order to debate case complexity of patient characteristics and complex lesions in HBR patients, to review patient centered clinical judgment and individualised treatment plans, and to analyse current Onyx ONE...
