Stents, scaffolds and DCB

Find all the latest content on stents and scaffolds published on this website.

Since 1986, when the first cardiovascular stent was implanted, the development of drug-eluting stents (DES) and the recent introduction of bioresorbable scaffolds have revolutionised interventional cardiology. Keep up-to-date with the latest research; evolving tools, devices and techniques; the role of adjunctive pharmacotherapy; advances in imaging techniques as well as the use of invasive imaging and functional assessment.

Towards a personalised coronary intervention with CT-guided robotic-assisted PCI

17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

This EuroPCR 2022 session aims to show how coronary CT angiography can help in pre-procedural planning and guidance of PCI to achieve the best patient outcomes. It also explores the role of robotic-assisted PCI in improving procedural accuracy, radiation safety, and ergonomics within the cathlab. Finally, it demonstrates how...

DCB and the possibility of a clean vessel

17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

This EuroPCR 2022 session aims to show, based on real-life cases, that even complex coronary disease can be treated without the need for permanent coronary stents. Learn how to prepare the vessel, deliver the therapy, and assess immediate outcomes after "DCB-alone" PCI, discuss de novo, small vessels, and...
