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.
