Acute coronary syndromes due to coronary dissection
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session will explore various cases of acute coronary syndromes caused by coronary dissection. Participants will learn about the diagnosis, management, and treatment strategies for spontaneous coronary artery dissection, including the use of imaging and interventional techniques to address these challenging cases.
PCI to treat the bystander disease in STEMI patients: who, when and how?
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Watch this case-based session on PCI for STEMI to see how the guidelines are influenced by the COMPLETE trial. Learn why and how physiology can guide intermediate lesions, the importance of intracoronary imaging guidance, the value of complete revascularization in STEMI patients, the optimal method for...
Challenges in acute coronary syndrome treatment
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session delves into the challenges and emerging insights in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It features presentations and discussions on topics such as sex-based differences in treatment and outcomes in STEMI, the use of ticagrelor de-escalation strategy in CKD patients, the outcomes of...

Other coronary interventions: SSO2, angioPy & more
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session showcases a diverse array of innovative coronary interventions and technologies, including the use of super-saturated oxygen therapy in STEMI, the validation of intracoronary flow velocity measurement, the application of laser and optics-based coronary intravascular lithotripsy, and the development of contrast-free and X-ray-free PCI techniques....
First results of randomised trials on advanced plaque modification techniques and intracoronary imaging
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session presents the first results of randomized trials investigating the use of advanced plaque modification techniques, such as rotational atherectomy, lithotripsy, and laser atherectomy, as well as the role of intracoronary imaging (OCT and IVUS) in guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The session aims to...
Cracking open the discussion on the clinical experience with intravascular lithotripsy in acute coronary syndromes
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Explore this session to uncover the common association between calcium and acute coronary syndrome, and how intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) offers a safe solution for calcified lesions, with comparable procedural success rates. However, note that ACS cases involving calcium may lead to higher major adverse cardiac events...
