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.
Complications in coronary interventions
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews uncommon and challenging complications encountered during coronary interventions. Cases include brachial arteriovenous fistula following radial access, retained guidewires, coronary sinus perforation during device implantation, and complex atherectomy procedures, emphasizing preparedness and management strategies.
360 management of cardiogenic shock
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session presents a comprehensive 360-degree approach to managing cardiogenic shock, featuring long-term outcomes of low-profile ventricular assist devices, emergency ECMO implementation in PCI centers without on-site surgery, and pharmacologic strategies comparing cangrelor and ticagrelor efficacy and safety in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock...
Current DCB practice: from lesion preparation to follow-up
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore current best practices in drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty from lesion preparation to follow-up. This session discusses common indications, management of dissections and complications, and shares practical tips and case examples, equipping clinicians with comprehensive knowledge to optimize DCB use in contemporary PCI.
PCI in cardiogenic shock without left ventricular support
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore PCI strategies in cardiogenic shock without left ventricular support through challenging cases including STEMI with single patent vessels, balancing procedural and resource considerations, spontaneous coronary dissections with arrhythmia, and use of crush techniques to rescue critically ill patients.
