PCR's Got Talent Round 1 - Session 2
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Join the dynamic PCR's Got Talent Round 1 - Session 2 featuring cutting-edge research and innovations in interventional cardiology. Highlights include complex CTO PCI strategies, valve comparisons in TAVI for small annuli, PFO closure outcomes, long-term PCI durability, CT-guided robotic PCI, pacemaker prediction post-TAVI, and much...
DCB in challenging scenarios - Part 2
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore the application of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in challenging coronary scenarios with a focus on recurrent calcified stenosis, in-stent restenosis, and left main interventions. This session includes case discussions on plaque phenotype-guided DCB treatment, 'leave nothing behind' strategy, and complex left main PCI using kissing DCBs...
New solutions for old problems
19 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Discover new solutions addressing persistent cardiovascular challenges, including novel diagnostic systems, vascular closure devices, specialized transcatheter closure technologies, and innovative stent-graft systems.
Advances in the development of drug-coated balloon
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Join Florim Cuculi and Rony Mathew at this EuroPCR 2025 roundtable to assess the evolution of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) and their role in daily practice.
DCBs offer a compelling alternative to stent implantation in selected cases. However, they are not interchangeable—each is built using different drugs, carriers,...
Major EuroPCR 2025 LBT - 4D-ACS: one-month DAPT followed by dose reduction of prasugrel after drug-coated stent insertion in acute coronary syndrome
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
In this EuroPCR 2025 interview, Davide Capodanno and Woong Chol Kang discuss antithrombotic therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes, focusing on the design and outcomes of the 4D-ACS trial. They describe the patient population enrolled in the study and introduce the two de-escalation strategies investigated:...
What are the essentials of the provisional strategy for non-left main true bifurcation lesions?
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Giuseppe Di Gioia and Jens Flensted Lassen explore the essentials of the provisional stenting strategy for non-left main true bifurcation lesions. This stepwise approach offers simplicity while preserving flexibility: start with one stent in the main vessel, and keep the option open for a second if...
What is the latest in DCB practice?
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Robert Byrne and Bruno Scheller explore the current role of drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty nearly two decades after its initial clinical use. This discussion covers when and how to apply DCB angioplasty effectively in everyday practice, focusing on lesion preparation for de novo coronary disease and...

Comparison of stent geometry achieved by different side-branch ballooning techniques for bifurcation provisional stenting: the CRABBIS Trial
31 Mar 2025
Which ballooning technique is best after main vessel stenting in bifurcation PCI? This two-part study compares two key approaches: PKP (POT, kissing balloon inflation, final POT) and PSP (POT, isolated side branch dilation, final POT) to determine the optimal strategy.

Percutaneous coronary treatment with Bioadaptor implant vs drug-eluting stent : 2-year outcomes from BIOADAPTOR RCT
31 Mar 2025
At two-year follow-up, the use of sirolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium DynamX Drug Eluting Coronary Bioadaptor System (Elixir Medical Corporation) resulted in fewer target lesion failure (TLF) compared with the Resolute Onyx contemporary drug-eluting stent.
