Spotlight on major Late-Breaking Trials presented at EuroPCR 2026
20 May 2026
These trials were selected for their design, results, and potential to impact clinical practice: discover the key findings of an IPD meta-analysis on coronary revascularisation in TAVI patients, a long-term comparison of PCI vs. CABG for left main disease, and a study on LAA closure vs....
Back to the future - Lessons from the past that can guide contemporary practice
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Reflecting on historical perspectives in the management of atherosclerotic coronary vascular disease, this session imparts valuable lessons to guide contemporary PCI practice. It emphasizes best practices in vessel preparation, evaluates the significance of drug-eluting stents, and provides a pathologist’s insight into mechanisms of PCI failure to...
Lessons from the long-term DES data: how they can inform today's practice
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews long-term clinical data on drug-eluting stents (DES) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS), offering valuable insights to inform current interventional cardiology practice. It covers seven-year outcomes of magnesium scaffolds in ACS, five-year results of sirolimus-eluting iron BRS, and extensive post-market studies of various thin-strut and...
Double face of DCB in clinical practice
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines the dual aspects of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in clinical practice through diverse case studies. Topics include DCB use in left main STEMI, OCT-guided management of in-stent restenosis, expanding indications for complex PCI, and challenges such as DCB failure and decision-making between drug-eluting balloons...

Lost, crushed, fractured: stent complications in real life
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses real-world challenges of stent complications including loss, crushing, and fracture during PCI. Through case-based discussions, it explores complex scenarios such as stent dislodgement, embolisation, and management strategies when initial plans evolve into complicated realities.
Prevention and management of PCI complications
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the prevention and management strategies for complications arising during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It presents real-world cases including management of entrapped guidewires, thrombosed aneurysms, catheter kinking, stent retrieval challenges, and complex retrieval scenarios, offering valuable insights into effective complication resolution techniques.
Navigating the complexity of high bleeding risk
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focusing on patients with high bleeding risk undergoing PCI, this session presents contemporary evidence on prevalence, procedural strategies with different stent types, antiplatelet therapy considerations including diabetic and sex-specific outcomes, and novel technologies such as sirolimus-coated balloons and machine learning models for restenosis prediction.
Imaging and physiology-guided DCB strategy
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Delve into advanced imaging and physiology-guided drug-coated balloon (DCB) strategies for complex coronary lesions. This session presents integrated approaches combining morphology and physiology, OCT guidance, and real-world cases highlighting DCB use in multivessel disease and calcified lesions.
Choosing the right strategy for isolated ostial left anterior descending artery or circumflex coronary lesions
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
