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...

Intracoronary imaging evaluation of stent implantation

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Focusing on intracoronary imaging evaluation of stent implantation, this session presents serial OCT data on plaque characteristics and neoatherosclerosis post-STEMI, the clinical impact of stent malapposition in ACS, long-term apposition dynamics, factors influencing stent expansion in calcified lesions by NIRS-IVUS, and OCT insights into coronary artery...
