Left main and complex bifurcation stenting
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This focused session explores optimal strategies for treating left main and complex bifurcation coronary lesions, a setting that remains both anatomically and technically demanding.
It highlights the role of intracoronary imaging in refining procedural planning and optimising stenting strategy and technique. The discussion also reviews the mechanical...
DCB as a key player in the management of complex coronary lesions
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights the pivotal role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in managing complex coronary lesions. Experienced operators share their approaches to applying DCB in challenging clinical and anatomical settings, optimized by intravascular imaging guidance.

PRISM-PCI - From clarity to cure
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
PRISM-PCI offers cutting-edge imaging innovations and treatment strategies aimed at optimizing complex PCI procedures. This session explores the 'leave nothing behind' concept with thin-strut bioresorbable scaffolds and sirolimus drug-coated balloons, updates on ultra thin-strut DES platforms, including the SORT OUT XII trial, and introduces a comprehensive...
Bifurcation PCI with complications - Part 2
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the challenges and complications encountered during bifurcation PCI. Topics include managing the hairpin hazard, advanced techniques for coronary guidewire entrapment, dual device failure in complex interventions, strategies for trifurcation lesions, and the implications of tissue entrapment in malapposed stents within the left main...
DCB - Going beyond in-stent restenosis
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines the expanding role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) beyond in-stent restenosis, including treatment of acute coronary syndromes, calcified lesions, and bifurcations. It reviews current evidence supporting DCB-based revascularization and outlines essential procedural steps to optimize outcomes.
Challenges during PCI on bifurcation
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the complexities of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in bifurcation lesions. It discusses decision-making strategies, techniques to avoid implanting permanent devices, the use of IVUS-guided laser atherectomy for restenosis, and approaches to challenging double bifurcation lesions including drug-coated balloon therapy.
Bifurcation PCI with complications - Part 1
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses complications encountered during bifurcation PCI through real-world cases involving stent dislodgement, entrapped guidewires, failed wiring techniques, and fractured devices. It highlights technical rescue maneuvers, the role of intravascular imaging, and long-term challenges encountered in managing complex bifurcation lesions to improve procedural success and...
Evolving bifurcation treatment practices: DCB, angio-based FFR and side branch optimisation
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This EuroPCR 2026 session explores the evolving landscape of bifurcation PCI, focusing on drug-coated balloon (DCB) strategies, angio-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) and side branch optimisation. It highlights how new evidence and physiology-guided tools are reshaping decision-making in this complex lesion subset.
Discussions include insights from the...
