Challenging cases in calcified lesions PCI
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses challenging cases in PCI of heavily calcified lesions. It covers unexpected complications such as silent shockwave failures, interventions in calcified Kawasaki disease, delayed coronary obstructions post-TAVI, and complex left main bifurcation lesions. The session underscores the perseverance required to successfully navigate these demanding...
Best complications on calcified lesions
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Highlighting challenging cases in calcified coronary lesions, this session presents a series of complications including stuck wires, the Kokeshi phenomenon, and multiple complications within a single vessel. It provides practical insights into rescue techniques and navigating complex procedural challenges.
Best clinical CTO cases
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents exemplary clinical cases in chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, illustrating advanced procedural strategies and complication management. Cases include retrograde CTO-PCI complicated by catheter-induced dissection, expansion of antegrade CTO PCI limits with hybrid approaches, successful combined antegrade and retrograde hydrodynamic contrast recanalisation, and staged...
Selecting PCI devices in specific scenarios
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses device selection strategies tailored to specific interventional cardiology scenarios. It covers innovative approaches such as coronary laser use in difficult lesions, intravascular imaging-guided treatments for in-stent restenosis, and physiological assessment post-magnesium scaffold resorption, supported by real-world data and emerging machine learning applications.
Management of bifurcations with complex anatomy - part 2
23 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore advanced techniques for managing bifurcations with complex anatomy. This session covers novel guidewire penetration methods, cutting balloon fenestration for dissections, rotatripsy for calcified nodules, and precision wiring in challenging left anterior descending artery curves.
What is new in radial access in 2025
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore the latest developments in radial access for PCI as of 2025. Topics include distal versus conventional transradial access, techniques to reduce forearm complications, sheathless approaches, dual artery compression methods, and feasibility in high bleeding risk patients.
