A mindset shift in the cathlab: leveraging contemporary technologies for planning and guiding PCI in complex patients
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session examines evolving catheterisation lab workflows, highlighting how integrated imaging, physiology, and procedural strategies are reshaping PCI practices. Speakers emphasize the importance of advanced pre-procedural planning using modalities such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to optimise stent deployment, and cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to improve diagnosis...
When bleeding risk shapes your PCI strategy
05 Jun 2025
Managing ACS in a high-bleeding-risk patient is always a delicate balance. In this case, an 83-year-old with NSTEMI, advanced CKD, and a recent intracranial hemorrhage presented with a complex mid-to-distal LAD lesion. What would be your strategy?
