Intracoronary imaging guidance for PCI
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session highlights the value of intracoronary imaging guidance for PCI, showcasing optical coherence tomography in complex ACS lesions, long-term outcomes from imaging-guided PCI trials, AI-enhanced quantification, and comparative analyses of intravascular lithotripsy versus rotational atherectomy.

Role of PCI in the contemporary management of patients with angina and coronary disease
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session aims to generate awareness about the distinct phenotypes of coronary artery disease (focal, diffuse, serial) that can be identified through contemporary physiological tools, and the implications of these phenotypes on achieving successful functional PCI results. Participants will also discuss the considerations around using PCI...

The value of IVUS during CTO PCI
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session explores the role of IVUS imaging in the management of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) during PCI procedures. Participants will learn how IVUS can help in navigating the true lumen, utilizing retrograde plaque/flap lift-and-shift techniques, managing false lumen entry, and addressing other challenging scenarios in...
