Vulnerable plaque identification and treatment
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session focuses on the role of non-invasive and intra-coronary imaging in the identification and management of vulnerable plaque. Participants will explore the use of CCTA and intracoronary imaging techniques, such as IVUS, to diagnose vulnerable atherosclerosis. The session also evaluates the evidence supporting conservative or...
Rethinking PCI in left main: OCT-guided optimisation
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Discover the transformative role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in optimizing left main percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in this session. Gain insights into how OCT can guide the step-by-step process of left main PCI to achieve optimal results, and explore the crucial parameters of procedural outcome,...
Stent failure and intravascular imaging: shedding the light to improve outcomes
20 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
Understand how to use intravascular imaging to analyse the reasons for stent failure (restenosis and/or thrombosis) by viewing these 2 cases shared by your peers: 1 focusing on OCT & the other on IVUS.

Complex stenting optimised by intracoronary imaging
23 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session on intracoronary imaging for complex stenting to learn how to recognise image findings which may impact on stent strategy and results, how to react to imaging for complex stent optimisation and how to optimally guide interventions during bailout situations.
New approaches in the functional assessment of coronary stenosis
22 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session to learn all about the new approaches in the functional assessment of coronary stenosis, such as the Quantitative Flow Ratio, the FAST EXTEND study, and more!
Management of in-stent restenosis: importance of imaging
21 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session to learn more about how to efficiently manage in-stent restenosis, and the importance of imaging in this kind of intervention, thanks to a selection of compelling clinical cases.
