Refining PCI plannings and decision-making with novel technologies
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights cutting-edge technologies that enhance PCI planning and decision-making. It covers the clinical populations benefiting from QFR-guided revascularisation, prognostic insights from radial wall strain in DCB-treated vessels, and advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning to assess ischemia and predict PCI outcomes, especially in...
Left main interventions: pushing the boundaries
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Examine contemporary strategies for distal left main bifurcation disease treatment, including debates on complex bifurcation and high-risk PCI approaches. The session emphasizes the critical role of coronary imaging in guiding decision-making and showcases clinical cases illustrating management of left main interventions under challenging conditions.
High definition IVUS-guided treatment strategies in calcified stenoses
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Severely calcified coronary stenoses remain one of the most challenging subsets in contemporary PCI, requiring precise lesion assessment and tailored treatment strategies.
This EuroPCR 2026 session focuses on how high-definition intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is changing the way these lesions are approached in daily practice.
HD-IVUS enables detailed detection...
Choosing the right strategy for isolated ostial left anterior descending artery or circumflex coronary lesions
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines optimal strategies for managing isolated ostial lesions in the left anterior descending and circumflex arteries, comparing left main crossover, ostial stenting, and drug-coated balloon (DCB) approaches. It emphasizes integrating multimodality imaging for informed decision-making, illustrated through detailed case discussions.
Calcium and complications management in bifurcation
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Address calcium-related challenges and complication management in coronary bifurcation PCI. This session reviews the impact of intraprocedural complications during two-stent techniques, procedural success and one-year outcomes of intravascular lithotripsy in calcific bifurcations and unprotected left main PCI, and bench-test analyses of perforation management. Additionally, it compares...
High thrombus burden in STEMI
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session addresses the management of high thrombus burden in STEMI patients. It reviews available tools and strategies for thrombus management, presents multiple case-based discussions illustrating treatment decisions, and explores the evolving role of thrombus aspiration in contemporary practice.
Complication occurring during PCI of calcified coronary lesions
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Join this in-depth session on the complications encountered during PCI of calcified coronary lesions, featuring real-world challenges like no flow with coronary dissection, stuck wires, and non-dilatable lesions. From the "Kokeshi phenomenon" to IVL-induced RCA dissection, this session highlights key lessons and red flags, emphasizing the...
State-of-the-art on left main interventions in Latin America
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session, in collaboration with the Sociedad Latino Americana de Cardiologia Intervencionista (SOLACI), provides insights into the management of left main coronary artery disease in Latin America. Attendees will learn about the revascularization guidelines for left main in the region, the approaches to left main bifurcations...
Complications in bifurcation lesions
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Explore the challenging realm of bifurcation lesions and their associated complications in this session: gain insights into the approach for managing in-struts stent dislodgment, navigate through the complexities of a no flow situation in culotte bifurcation stenting, ensure your preparedness for distal coronary perforation by keeping...
How should I treat complex left main: trifurcation, in-stent restenosis
17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
Review the cases of a 65-year-old male patient with exertional angina, good LV, transferred to hospital for CABG after an angiogram with failed PCI attempt, and an 87-year-old female patient with HTN and previous heart failure with preserved LV function who presented with NSTEMI, and analyze...
How to manage uncrossable lesions in ACS
15 Nov 2021
Find out more about how the authors managed a 79-year-old male presenting with ACS and lateral ischemia with a calcified and tortuous left circumflex that could not be crossed with balloons... and a 61-year-old male with inferior STEMI presenting with an “undilatable” lesion of the right coronary artery...
