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.

How do I confidently expand my drug-coated balloon practice?

21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

This EuroPCR 2025 session challenges the conventional approach to bifurcation PCI and dissection management. Learn why drug-coated balloons (DCB) may offer better long-term outcomes in cases where stents fall short, how DCBs can simplify bifurcation strategies, and why it’s time to rethink which dissections really need...
