Imaging and physiology integration to guided PCI
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Discover the integration of imaging and physiological assessment in guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This session highlights the use of multimodality diagnostics, including invasive and non-invasive techniques, to improve planning, strategy, and management of complex coronary lesions.
Cardiogenic shock: identifying the cause and tailoring the treatment
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on the critical evaluation and management of cardiogenic shock by identifying its underlying causes and tailoring treatment accordingly. It presents complex cases including free wall rupture bail-out strategies, management dilemmas in inferior STEMI complicated by incomplete ventricular rupture, multifactorial culprit lesions, refractory hypotension...
Intracoronary imaging to guided DCB PCI
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights the role of intracoronary imaging techniques such as OCT and IVUS in guiding drug-coated balloon (DCB) PCI. It explores novel imaging-guided algorithms for complex bifurcations, prediction of drug-eluting balloon failure, management of calcified nodules, re-entry into true lumen during CTO, and tackling aneurysms...
Images that speak for themselves
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This visually-driven session presents compelling clinical cases where imaging played a decisive role. Cases include unexpected challenges following transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement, severe hypertension in a young athlete, atypical coronary artery anatomy, critical moments of cardiac arrest, and unique coronary artery findings resembling a spider web.
Best complications on calcified lesions
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Highlighting challenging cases in calcified coronary lesions, this session presents a series of complications including stuck wires, the Kokeshi phenomenon, and multiple complications within a single vessel. It provides practical insights into rescue techniques and navigating complex procedural challenges.
Management of rare clinical scenarios in the cathlab
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the management of rare and complex clinical scenarios encountered in the catheterization laboratory. Cases include dyspnea in coronary artery bypass graft patients, aortocoronary dissection management, complications during coronary sinus reducer implantation, coronary artery aneurysms related to IgG4 vasculitis, ibuprofen-induced Kounis syndrome, and challenging...
Complications in coronary interventions
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews uncommon and challenging complications encountered during coronary interventions.
