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...
Innovative coronary approches for your daily practice
20 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
This EuroPCR 2022 session presents innovative types of coronary approches used in different Clinical Case submissions: severe calcific tortuous LAD disease, the calcium challenge or IVUS-guided CTO PCI with minimum contrast...
How to use a guide-extension catheter for stent delivery
15 May 2020
Population ageing is increasing. Therefore extensive coronary artery calcification is a frequent finding and results in complex coronary interventions. Despite the improvement of stent- and balloon- profile, delivery can be challenging due to vessel tortuosity and calcified plaque... Discover the tips and solutions proposed by Lucas...
