How should I treat my CTO? Adapting to local conditions
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into managing chronic total occlusions (CTO) under resource-limited conditions, highlighting the essential CTO toolbox and strategic procedural planning. It emphasizes that an antegrade-first approach, often with dual arterial access, can achieve high success in many CTO cases, illustrated through complex real-world cases from...
Left main complications - Part 3
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews complex complications encountered in left main coronary interventions. It covers causes and management of acute left main occlusion, critical stenosis of coronary buttons, retrieval techniques for ostial stents, and strategies for managing challenging PCI scenarios that may precipitate or resolve catastrophic events.
When stent failure meets calcified lesions
23 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Address the challenges of stent failure in the context of calcified coronary lesions. This session features complex PCI cases involving intrastent rotational atherectomy, management of underexpanded stents, in-stent restenosis, and innovative off-label use of shock wave lithotripsy to tackle tough calcifications.
PCI in a challenging coronary anatomy
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session tackles PCI in challenging coronary anatomies, featuring cases with anomalous coronary arteries, complex access routes, and specialized stenting techniques. Learn from experiences managing dual anomalous arteries, navigating to difficult lesions, and applying innovative modified chimney stent methods to restore coronary flow.
Challenging STEMI cases: unwanted situations
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Address challenging STEMI cases involving multivessel disease, high thrombus burden, and spontaneous coronary artery dissection. This session provides case-based learning on managing unexpected scenarios, diagnostic approaches, and tailored treatment strategies in complex STEMI presentations.
PCI: complex procedures
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session explores a series of complex PCI cases, including the management of left main stent restenosis after the chimney technique, aortic root dissection during right coronary artery PCI, treatment of very old saphenous graft disease, complex in-stent restenosis, and the management of persistent coronary fistula....
