PCI for complex left main disease - LIVE Case
23 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
An 82-year-old male patient with a history of STEMI and diagonal PCI (2004) presented with stable angina (CCS 2). CT imaging revealed 2 severe LAD stenoses (at the ostium and mid part), and a severe bifurcation stenosis at the Cx/OM1 confirmed by angiography. A staged PCI...
When stent failure meets calcified lesions
23 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Address the challenges of stent failure in the context of calcified coronary lesions. This session features complex PCI cases involving intrastent rotational atherectomy, management of underexpanded stents, in-stent restenosis, and innovative off-label use of shock wave lithotripsy to tackle tough calcifications.
Best companions's case on complications in calcified lesions
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Delve into challenging cases involving complications in calcified coronary lesions managed with rotational atherectomy. Topics include unique uses of Rotablation, managing burr entrapment, complex calcium and tortuosity combinations, and addressing perforations resulting from stent optimization and burr retrieval in highly calcified vessels.
How to manage acute complications during bifurcation PCI
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Navigate acute complications during bifurcation PCI with expert case discussions demonstrating retrieval of fractured guide wires, managing procedural detours in DK crush stenting, distal wire perforations with fistula formation, and challenges such as stent displacement post-deployment. This session provides practical insights into complication management to optimize...
