DCB - Going beyond in-stent restenosis
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines the expanding role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) beyond in-stent restenosis, including treatment of acute coronary syndromes, calcified lesions, and bifurcations. It reviews current evidence supporting DCB-based revascularization and outlines essential procedural steps to optimize outcomes.
Nightmare scenarios in the cathlab
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents challenging and unexpected scenarios encountered in the catheterisation laboratory, highlighting critical complications such as stent-induced coronary dissections, acute arterial occlusions, and procedural catastrophes. Real-life cases illustrate emergency management strategies, including rescue techniques for vascular complications and early recognition of acute syndromes, underscoring the...
New tools for risk stratification in STEMI
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights novel tools and scores for risk stratification in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. It covers prognostic indices such as the index of microcirculatory resistance, the PREDICT-STEMI score, thrombus characteristics, sex differences in outcomes, renal impairment impacts, and benefits of complete revascularization strategies.
CT and intracoronary imaging evaluation of coronary disease
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on advanced imaging modalities for evaluating coronary artery disease, including the clinical application of CT angiography and intracoronary imaging techniques like OCT and IVUS. Topics encompass barriers to OCT usage, the impact of plaque composition on PCI outcomes, advances in photon-counting CT technology,...
Reliability and application of angio-based physiology in daily work
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session evaluates the reliability and clinical application of angiography-based physiological assessments in daily practice. Topics include comparisons of angiography-derived microvascular resistance and flow metrics with invasive methods, reproducibility of quantitative flow ratio (QFR), and its correlation with symptom burden and other imaging modalities.
TAVI procedural challenges
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines procedural challenges encountered during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), especially in complex anatomical and clinical contexts. Topics include TAVI after prior mitral valve procedures, combined use of left ventricular assist devices and rotablation, navigating challenging aortic anatomies, and managing extensive calcification. The session...
When anatomy surprises: closing rare fistulae
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on the percutaneous closure of rare and complex cardiac fistulae and related vascular anomalies. It presents diverse cases such as superior vena cava syndrome from pacemaker leads, iatrogenic aorta-to-left atrium fistula, and unusual cardio-pulmonary connections, illustrating advanced interventional techniques to address unexpected anatomical...
PFO closure - Progression in practice
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents progressive insights into patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, comparing outcomes across age groups and evaluating residual shunting via transcranial Doppler. It highlights tailored antiplatelet therapy durations from the PROLONG registry, long-term safety and efficacy data, morphological variations of the fossa ovalis, and the...
Assessing coronaries in ACS with intracoronary imaging
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights the critical role of intracoronary imaging in evaluating acute coronary syndromes (ACS). It discusses the management of complex lesion morphologies involving calcium and thrombus, the diagnostic power of OCT in decision-making, challenges beyond angiography in right coronary artery pathology, and the identification of...
