An unconventional pathway to the management of an iatrogenic dissection
23 Jun 2026
Iatrogenic coronary dissection is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of PCI. Its management can be challenging, particularly when antegrade wiring fails and flow is compromised, requiring escalation to advanced bailout strategies.

Beyond stent: use of DCB in CTO
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on the innovative use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions. It reviews combined plaque modification techniques, complex multivessel PCI cases involving CTOs, and strategy considerations such as hybrid therapy versus full metal jacket, emphasizing vessel biology preservation during revascularisation.
How should I treat my CTO? Adapting to local conditions
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into managing chronic total occlusions (CTO) under resource-limited conditions, highlighting the essential CTO toolbox and strategic procedural planning. It emphasizes that an antegrade-first approach, often with dual arterial access, can achieve high success in many CTO cases, illustrated through complex real-world cases from...
Technical decision-making for CTO PCI strategy
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on technical decision-making for chronic total occlusion PCI strategy. It presents diverse approaches to right coronary CTOs, complex management involving double rendezvous techniques, subintimal strategies, and innovative single-injection methods, demonstrating the evolving frontiers in CTO intervention.
Complication management in CTO PCI - Part 2
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on managing complications during chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI procedures. It presents challenging cases including artery perforations, donor vessel-related procedural difficulties, and intramural hematoma rescue guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Strategies to address in-stent CTO and the unpredictable nature of CTO PCI complications...
Clinical decision making for CTO PCI strategy
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores clinical decision-making in CTO PCI strategy through complex scenarios including multivessel CTO in ischemic cardiomyopathy, high-risk NSTEMI post-vein graft failure, and challenges in elderly patients. It emphasizes strategic planning and individualized approaches to optimize outcomes.
CTO PCI: an evolving landscape
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Review the evolving landscape of chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI with a focus on recent trends, contemporary management in multivessel disease, and innovative techniques such as retrograde approaches and titrated contrast recanalization. This session also addresses cost-effectiveness and drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy outcomes from multicenter studies.
