Best coronary complications
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
A collection of challenging coronary complication cases is presented, including management of stuck wires in calcific CTOs, complex PCI scenarios with unexpected twists, techniques for puncturing seals, and dealing with microaxial pump kinks, providing valuable lessons in complication management during interventional procedures.
Best structural complications
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights the management of complex structural complications encountered in high-risk valve interventions. It covers troubleshooting in mitral annular calcification, challenges with the BASILICA technique, creative bailouts for valve embolisation, and considerations in leaflet management during aortic stenosis procedures.
Nightmare scenarios in the cathlab
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents challenging and unexpected scenarios encountered in the catheterisation laboratory, highlighting critical complications such as stent-induced coronary dissections, acute arterial occlusions, and procedural catastrophes. Real-life cases illustrate emergency management strategies, including rescue techniques for vascular complications and early recognition of acute syndromes, underscoring the...
