New insights into pharmacological treatment for STEMI
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents the latest pharmacological advances in the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It covers safety data on ticagrelor monotherapy post-primary PCI, the impact of P2Y12 inhibitor pretreatment, effects of dapagliflozin on myocardial remodeling, and considerations for bleeding risk and vascular preparation strategies...
Complex coronary artery intervention: how DCB can help us
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into the role of Drug-Coated Balloons (DCB) in managing complex coronary artery interventions. It covers DCB-based PCI approaches in challenging lesions, compares clinical outcomes between Paclitaxel-coated balloon-only PCI and other strategies, and evaluates the effectiveness of DCB versus Drug-Eluting Stents (DES) in de...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
From wires to knives: CABG essentials every cathlab nurse and allied professional should know
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session is designed to equip cathlab nurses and allied professionals with essential knowledge about Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). It covers the indications for CABG, relevant cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, and the importance of effective communication with patients undergoing CABG procedures. Practical walkthroughs of angiograms...
