Stents, scaffolds and DCB

Latest Stents, scaffolds and DCB content in interventional cardiology - research, practice, and education

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.

New evidence for the use of DCB

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session reviews emerging evidence supporting the use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in complex PCI. It covers data from recent trials such as SELUTION De Novo, studies on vascular healing, restenosis patterns, long-term outcomes compared to DES, and optimal side branch treatment in bifurcation lesions.

Stentless PCI, DCB and BVS in complex scenarios

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the use of stentless percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) employing drug-coated balloons (DCB) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BVS) in complex coronary scenarios. Through detailed case discussions, it addresses decision-making processes, technical considerations, and practical tips for successfully completing PCI without permanent stenting.

DCB - Going beyond in-stent restenosis

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines the expanding role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) beyond in-stent restenosis, including treatment of acute coronary syndromes, calcified lesions, and bifurcations. It reviews current evidence supporting DCB-based revascularization and outlines essential procedural steps to optimize outcomes.
