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...
Challenging cases in primary angioplasty - from the difficult to the unusual
05 Jul 2019 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2019
Consult this session to discover challenging cases in primary angioplasty, and learn more about how to efficiently manage some of the complications encountered during this procedure, such as thrombus, no reflow, out of hospital cardiac arrest, and more!
