Is DCB the new gold standard for side branch treatment in bifurcation?
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores the emerging role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) as a potential new standard for side branch treatment in bifurcation lesions. It focuses on selecting appropriate indications, optimal vessel preparation and delivery timing, and executing stepwise DCB strategies versus hybrid approaches to maximize clinical outcomes.
New evidence for coronary revascularisation
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights new evidence in coronary revascularisation, including the role of CT-derived virtual stenting for procedural optimization, left ventricular unloading during complex PCI, long-term outcomes of FFR-guided PCI versus medical therapy, Impella CP support in high-risk PCI, and comparative results of PCI versus CABG in...
CTO PCI: how to prevent and manage complications effectively?
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focused on chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, this session highlights the critical importance of procedural planning to minimize complications. Through detailed case analyses of coronary dissection and perforation, it outlines early identification strategies and equips clinicians with essential tools and techniques for effective complication management in...
