CT and intracoronary imaging evaluation of coronary disease
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on advanced imaging modalities for evaluating coronary artery disease, including the clinical application of CT angiography and intracoronary imaging techniques like OCT and IVUS. Topics encompass barriers to OCT usage, the impact of plaque composition on PCI outcomes, advances in photon-counting CT technology,...
Where to leave less behind: non-invasive CT and angiography-derived physiology for DCB lesion selection
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session elucidates the role of non-invasive coronary CT and angiography-derived physiology in guiding lesion selection for drug-eluting balloon PCI. It emphasises integrating anatomical and physiological data to refine lesion preparation, strategy, and validation beyond angiography, and identifies scenarios where DEB PCI may not be optimal,...
Angiography-based physiology: time to change your routine clinical practice?
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session offers a critical appraisal of angiography-based physiology, with a focus on virtual fractional flow reserve (vFFR) technology. It reviews the latest clinical evidence, including insights from the FAST study programme and the FAST III randomised controlled trial. Gain a clear understanding of current guideline...
Artificial intelligence-powered precision: CT-guided PCI and the future of image-guided therapy
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Image-guided PCI is entering a new era, driven by artificial intelligence and advanced CT technologies that are reshaping how coronary interventions are planned and performed.
This EuroPCR 2026 session explores the integration of photon-counting CT into PCI workflows, highlighting its improved spatial resolution, enhanced plaque characterisation and...
Physiology-guided PCI: LIVE Educational Case from Sant'Andrea University Hospital - Rome, Italy
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This educational session presents a live, physiology-guided PCI case from Sant'Andrea University Hospital, Rome. It emphasizes the role of integrated functional imaging in procedural planning, discusses treatment strategies for multivessel disease and long lesions, and demonstrates a step-by-step fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided PCI approach.

Role of PCI in the contemporary management of patients with angina and coronary disease
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session aims to generate awareness about the distinct phenotypes of coronary artery disease (focal, diffuse, serial) that can be identified through contemporary physiological tools, and the implications of these phenotypes on achieving successful functional PCI results. Participants will also discuss the considerations around using PCI...
Multivessel disease PCI guided by physiology and IVUS - LIVE case
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
A 78-year-old woman with hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity, presented with angina CCS2 and preserved LV function. The coronary angiogram showed stenosis in the RCA (proximal and mid), CX, and calcified proximal and mid LAD involving D1 and D2.
The operators performed PCI on the RCA (1 stent)...

FIRE trial: physiology-guided complete PCI in older MI patients
27 Aug 2023
Luis Ortega-Paz interviews Simone Biscaglia and Gianluca Campo about the FIRE trial.
Results showed elderly patients presenting with either STEMI or NSTEMI benefit from complete revascularization, reducing cardiovascular events risk at 1 year compared to culprit lesion-only PCI.
