The calcium challenge: stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Confront the challenges posed by coronary calcium through innovative stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment strategies. This session features analyses on the feasibility of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) alone, its use prior to drug-coated balloon angioplasty, and in treating in-stent restenosis. Outcomes following IVL-assisted PCI are reviewed...
Retrograde removal of the broken sheath
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session addresses complex complications during vascular access with a focus on retrograde removal of broken sheaths. Learn to recognize critical signs, manage rare but severe complications including broken guidewires in the radial artery, and explore innovative off-label solutions for challenging scenarios.
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?
