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...
How to manage acute complications during bifurcation PCI
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Navigate acute complications during bifurcation PCI with expert case discussions demonstrating retrieval of fractured guide wires, managing procedural detours in DK crush stenting, distal wire perforations with fistula formation, and challenges such as stent displacement post-deployment. This session provides practical insights into complication management to optimize...
Coronary complications: stent loss
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Examine coronary stent loss complications and retrieval techniques in this session. Review innovative approaches such as retrieval of dislodged stents from unusual locations like the renal artery, and discussions on navigating stent-related struggles, including the mechanical journey and consequences of stent loss during PCI.
Stent failure: don't guess, just see!
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Investigate causes and imaging-based solutions for stent failure in this session. Topics include management of refractory stent underexpansion using lithotripsy or stent ablation, OCT perspectives on iatrogenic aortic dissection during PCI for in-stent restenosis, and analyses of bioresorbable scaffold failure.
