Inflammation and cardiovascular risk
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Exploring the interplay between inflammation and cardiovascular risk, this session reviews contemporary research on residual risk post-PCI, inflammatory markers in coronary artery disease especially in type 2 diabetes and ACS, and prognostic tools including lipoprotein(a) and systemic inflammation indices.
Antithrombotic strategies in challenging clininal scenarios
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents a comprehensive overview of antithrombotic strategies tailored to challenging clinical scenarios. Topics include management in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing DES implantation, the use of low-dose Cangrelor and Bivalirudin during PCI under ECMO in cardiac arrest, polymer types in stents, and timing...
Radial and distal radial artery access for PCI
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session provides an in-depth evaluation of radial and distal radial artery access for PCI, including a 20-year trend analysis of clinical outcomes, feasibility studies on distal radial interventions, and comparative real-world experiences. It also features meta-analyses of randomized trials on access approaches and early findings...

Novelties on how to manage difficult TAVI situations
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Stay at the forefront of TAVI management with this session highlighting novel approaches to difficult clinical scenarios. Topics include predictive scoring for pacemaker implantation, impact of baseline frailty on recovery, comparative imaging for coronary stenosis evaluation, physiology-guided PCI in TAVI patients, and outcomes of extrathoracic non-transfemoral...
Clinical puzzles in structural interventions
11 Sep 2025 – From PCR Rio Valves 2025
Delve into complex clinical puzzles encountered in structural heart interventions. This session presents comparative outcomes in paradoxical low flow versus high gradient severe aortic stenosis post-TAVI, explores manual and automatic CT measurement techniques, evaluates valve-in-valve procedures within mechanical valves through meta-analysis, and discusses TAVI strategies in...
TAVI and coronary artery disease
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Examine the evolving role of coronary artery disease assessment in TAVI patients. This session compares coronary tomography and angiography for pre-TAVI evaluation, reviews safety and effectiveness of CT angiography-based strategies, and introduces the UNICORN procedure for managing high coronary obstruction risk in complex TAVI scenarios including...
High-risk plaque assessment with intracoronary imaging
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore high-risk plaque assessment using intracoronary imaging modalities such as OCT and AI-driven analysis. This session investigates associations between thin-cap fibroatheroma, local inflammation, and adverse outcomes, highlighting novel biomarkers and imaging techniques that enhance prognostic evaluation and guide personalized coronary artery disease management.
PCI of bifurcation lesions: management of complications - Part 1
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Explore strategies for managing complex PCI of bifurcation lesions through case discussions. From stent deformation and delicate diagonal wiring to wire fracture with snare failure, decoiled coronary guidewires, misplaced stents, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and late tamponade after PCI, this session covers how to effectively respond...
