Left main and complex bifurcation stenting

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This focused session explores optimal strategies for treating left main and complex bifurcation coronary lesions, a setting that remains both anatomically and technically demanding.

It highlights the role of intracoronary imaging in refining procedural planning and optimising stenting strategy and technique. The discussion also reviews the mechanical...

New data on intracoronary imaging-guided interventions

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session presents new data on intracoronary imaging-guided interventions, comparing outcomes of angiography-derived FFR and IVUS-guided PCI over two years, as well as OCT versus IVUS for intermediate left main stenosis. It further evaluates high-risk non-culprit lesions post-myocardial infarction, the role of coronary lipid burden in...

Stentless PCI, DCB and BVS in complex scenarios

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the use of stentless percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) employing drug-coated balloons (DCB) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BVS) in complex coronary scenarios. Through detailed case discussions, it addresses decision-making processes, technical considerations, and practical tips for successfully completing PCI without permanent stenting.

Tackling calcified lesions with IVUS guidance and optimisation

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session delves into the critical role of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in characterizing and managing calcified coronary lesions. Attendees can explore an imaging-guided approach to calcium treatment, including case presentations that demonstrate stent selection and procedural optimization. Emphasis is placed on applying imaging-based optimization metrics to...

Optimal management of high bleeding risk patient with multivessel disease

21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

This session offers a comprehensive overview of the management of high bleeding risk (HBR) patients with multivessel disease. Through expert discussion and a live case demonstration featuring a complex elderly patient, it highlights how intracoronary imaging and physiology can guide procedural decisions and improve outcomes in this...
