Anatomy, physiology and clinical judgment: insights from contemporary strategies to guide PCI
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Discover contemporary strategies integrating anatomy, physiology, and clinical judgment to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This session explores the impact of stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance in primary prevention, viability-guided PCI, and physiology-based decision-making including quantitative flow ratio (QFR). Learn about identifying patients at risk for major...
Beyond angiography: imaging-guided solutions for stent failure
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Stent failure remains a critical challenge in interventional cardiology — but intracoronary imaging can change the outcome. This session goes beyond angiography to examine why stents fail, how to detect underlying causes, and how imaging-guided strategies can help tailor reintervention. Two real-life cases, from complex restenosis...
Should STEMI treatment be related to specific clinical patient characteristics
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session evaluates whether STEMI treatment should be tailored to specific clinical patient characteristics. It includes insights into STEMI management in very young patients, benefits of revascularisation of LAD non-culprit lesions in older AMI patients, clinical outcomes from the NAMI registry for young STEMI patients, and...
The calcium challenge: stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Confront the challenges posed by coronary calcium through innovative stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment strategies. This session features analyses on the feasibility of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) alone, its use prior to drug-coated balloon angioplasty, and in treating in-stent restenosis. Outcomes following IVL-assisted PCI are reviewed...
Imaging-guided management of PCI pitfalls in NSTEMI
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Dive into the imaging-guided management of PCI pitfalls in NSTEMI patients. This session highlights critical cases such as complications from missed PCI, crushed stents, multiple coronary lumens, and migrating thrombus, emphasizing the role of advanced intracoronary imaging for precise diagnosis and optimized interventional outcomes.
Intracoronary imaging to guide management in ACS
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session focuses on the role of intracoronary imaging, specifically IVUS and OCT, in the management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Participants will learn when intracoronary imaging can facilitate diagnosis and guide PCI, as well as discuss image interpretation in the setting of ACS.
Stent failure management - Contemporary management options - Part 2
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
In this session, explore the evolving causes of restenosis in contemporary practice and understand how to tailor in-stent restenosis treatment based on its underlying mechanism. Discover why imaging is crucial for selecting the appropriate treatment in cases of in-stent restenosis, and learn that drug-coated balloons are...
