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...
If I can’t stent it, should I care? Unmasking hidden atherosclerosis through novel imaging techniques
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Unveil the potential of novel imaging techniques in identifying hidden atherosclerosis and silent inflammation. This session discusses the role of perivascular adipose tissue in plaque development, highlights advances in early inflammation detection, and explores clinical management of patients with athero-inflammation beyond traditional stenting options.
