Bifurcation failure: the realities and strategies for avoidance
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the challenges associated with bifurcation lesion PCI, focusing on procedural complications, novel classification systems for in-stent restenosis, and plaque characterization near side branches. It reviews clinical outcomes of Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) treatments for side branch lesions, the influence of drug-eluting balloon strategies, and...
Intracoronary imaging to guided DCB PCI
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights the role of intracoronary imaging techniques such as OCT and IVUS in guiding drug-coated balloon (DCB) PCI. It explores novel imaging-guided algorithms for complex bifurcations, prediction of drug-eluting balloon failure, management of calcified nodules, re-entry into true lumen during CTO, and tackling aneurysms...
Expanding the indications of DCB for complex PCI scenarios
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session, with the collaboration of various national societies, explores the use of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in complex PCI scenarios, such as multivessel disease, left main, bifurcations, CTOs, or myocardial infarction. It includes case presentations and discussions on the procedural techniques, patient selection, and lesion preparation...
