Imaging-guided calcified lesion PCI

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session presents state-of-the-art imaging-guided interventions for calcified coronary lesions, showcasing modalities such as lithotripsy, rotational atherectomy, and complex calcium modification techniques. It includes case studies highlighting zero-contrast PCI and stenting in challenging anatomies, including left main bifurcation lesions in elderly patients with complex clinical backgrounds.

Behind standard practice: a place for DCB

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines the role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) beyond standard practice in coronary revascularization. It includes discussions on revascularization strategies in young patients, rescue of early distal LIMA–LAD anastomosis, treatment of in-stent restenosis, stepwise complex CTO bifurcation revascularization using kissing DCBs, and management of calcified...
