Treating complex CAD indications with sirolimus coated balloon: evidence and performance
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Gain a deeper understanding of how sirolimus coated balloon (SCB) technology is shaping the treatment of complex coronary artery disease (CAD). This EuroPCR 2025 session brings together compelling clinical trial data and real-world case presentations to illustrate the safety, efficacy, and versatility of the MagicTouch SCB...
The role of DCB in non-left main true bifurcations
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session offers a detailed exploration of drug-coated balloon (DCB) use in non-left main true bifurcation lesions. Learn to define suitable lesion characteristics for provisional stenting, understand stepwise procedural strategies minimizing implanted material, and appreciate the role of intravascular imaging in assessing bifurcation complexity and optimizing...
Procedural aspects of DCB PCI
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Delve into procedural aspects of drug-coated balloon (DCB) PCI with a focus on lesion preparation, antiplatelet therapy, and outcomes in real-world settings. This session reviews the impact of pre-dilatation balloons on de novo lesions, compares ticagrelor versus clopidogrel post-PCI with drug-eluting balloons, and discusses streamlined revascularization...
The calcium challenge: stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Confront the challenges posed by coronary calcium through innovative stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment strategies. This session features analyses on the feasibility of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) alone, its use prior to drug-coated balloon angioplasty, and in treating in-stent restenosis. Outcomes following IVL-assisted PCI are reviewed...
Is DCB a new valid option for coronary revascularisation?
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session provides an in-depth evaluation of drug-coated balloons (DCB) as a valid option for coronary revascularisation. Topics include two-year follow-up comparisons between paclitaxel and sirolimus-coated balloons, clinical outcomes after bailout stenting post-DCB angioplasty, meta-analyses contrasting DCB and DES for large native coronary artery disease, and...
