Intracoronary imaging to guide management in ACS
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session focuses on the role of intracoronary imaging, specifically IVUS and OCT, in the management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Participants will learn when intracoronary imaging can facilitate diagnosis and guide PCI, as well as discuss image interpretation in the setting of ACS.
Management of LAA closure complications
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session explores the various complications that can arise during left atrial appendage (LAA) closure procedures, including pericardial effusion, device embolisation, and procedural strokes. Learn how to identify risk factors, prevent these complications, and effectively manage them through case-based discussions and expert guidance.
Imaging-guided PCI for stent failure - LIVE case
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
An 86-year-old male with PAD, a stroke in 2007, and a history of LAD PCI in 2006, presented with unstable angina due to LAD stent restenosis involving D1 and D2, with preserved LV function.
Guided by OCT, the operators performed stenosis preparation using IVL, treated the distal...
Artificial intelligence: current applications in coronary image analysis in its potential in treatment planning
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
What should cardiologists be aware of regarding artificial intelligence? How will artificial intelligence impact interventional cardiology? If you share these questions, absolutely watch this presentation.
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 management - The optimal use of intracoronary imaging - Part 1
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Watch this session to discover the optimal use of intracoronary imaging, to learn more about the differential role of IVUS and OCT imaging in stent failure, to study a case of in-stent restenosis due to calcified neoatherosclerosis, and to learn about the available evidence for the...
The PECTUS trial, OCT for identification of vulnerable plaques and its impact on clinical outcomes
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Niels Van Royen and Lorenz Räber discuss a very emerging topic: the vulnerable plaque, and more specifically the related PECTUS Trial. They address the question of why vulnerable plaques should be detected and what can be done with the results, before looking at the study design...
Stent failure: how to treat, how to prevent
18 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
With 2 expert interviews, a stent failure case example, and a recorded best practice case to prevent stent failure in this EuroPCR 2022 session, understand why unraveling the mechanism of stent failure is essential for optimal treatment, receive tips and tricks to effectively treat stent failure,...
Standardised criteria for stent optimisation in imaging-guided PCI
18 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
Achieving standardised criteria for stent optimisation in imaging-guided PCI can be challenging and requires correct analysis of the pre-PCI lesion anatomy, correct use of dedicated tools, and rigorous methodology, as this should not be at the expense of patient safety: this is the key message of...
IVUS and OCT: when, how, why?
18 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

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.
Exploring evidence and experience with magnesium scaffold Magmaris
23 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
