Hybrid percutaneous revascularisation: combining DES and DCB for optimal results
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into hybrid percutaneous revascularisation techniques that combine drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) to achieve optimal clinical results. It highlights the clinical and anatomical scenarios suited for hybrid PCI, provides a step-by-step procedural approach, and discusses the potential benefits of integrating these...
The metal-free strategy: shaping the new era of hybrid vessel restoration with DCB and BRS
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This EuroPCR 2026 session explores the emerging metal-free strategy in coronary intervention, combining drug-coated balloons (DCB) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) to support a “leave-nothing-behind” approach to vessel restoration.
It focuses on lesion preparation, scaffold sizing and deployment, and the integration of hybrid therapies to optimise procedural outcomes....
Metalfree PCI
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore metal-free PCI approaches emphasizing drug-coated balloon angioplasty and bioresorbable scaffold technologies. This session reviews angiographic outcomes in diffuse small vessel disease, bifurcation lesions, and acute myocardial infarction, alongside management strategies for restenosis post-DCB angioplasty, highlighting advancements in minimally invasive coronary interventions.
Coronary scaffolds: new developments and applications
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Stay informed on advancements in coronary scaffolds with this session reviewing new developments and applications. Topics include comparative performance of magnesium-based bioresorbable stents, long-term clinical outcomes from the BIOMAG-I and FANTOM BRS studies, and real-world experiences with next-generation thin-strut scaffolds.
