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...
