Calcium Skills Lab: EuroPCR 2026 highlights
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
As the management of heavily calcified coronary lesions becomes increasingly complex, the need for practical, hands-on education continues to grow. At EuroPCR 2026, a brand-new initiative aims to address this challenge: the Calcium Skills Lab.
In this discussion, Angela McInerney and Mohamed Abdel-Wahab present this innovative programme...
Integrate solutions to address current challenges in the treatment of complex PCI
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
At EuroPCR 2026, Ashok Seth, Andreas Baumbach and Sasko Kedev discuss how the management of complex coronary artery disease has evolved over the past decade.
As patient and lesion complexity continues to increase, operators are faced with challenges ranging from severe calcification and renal dysfunction to diabetes...
Controlled trial of high-risk coronary intervention with percutaneous left ventricular unloading (CHIP-BCIS3)
01 Apr 2026
Aaysha Cader interviews Divaka Perera on the CHIP-BCIS3 randomised trial, which evaluated whether elective left ventricular (LV) unloading during high-risk PCI improves outcomes in patients with severe LV dysfunction, extensive coronary disease, and complex procedures, as presented at ACC.26 in New Orleans.
