This session focuses on the recognition and management of complications during coronary artery disease PCI. It includes cases of acute guide catheter crises, rare post-PCI chest pain etiologies, innovative stent retrieval techniques, and critical procedural challenges, providing an educational journey through complex complication management.

Explore pioneering advancements in coronary interventions with first-in-man and novel devices. This session presents groundbreaking studies including cryotherapy for vulnerable plaques, a novel intravascular crossing system for coronary CTOs, sirolimus-coated retrievable scaffold therapy for in-stent restenosis, real-time intravascular photoacoustic imaging of lipid-rich plaques, and the inaugural...

This session addressed the complexities of left main PCI, focusing on managing hemodynamic uncertainty in high-risk interventions, advanced techniques such as ultra-low contrast rota-tripsy PCI, precise stent positioning, and pragmatic approaches to CHIP cases, emphasizing contrast-sparing strategies and best practice balancing.

Explore a multi-device strategy for tackling complex calcified coronary lesions in this session. It includes case studies on left main trifurcation stenting, resistant calcified nodules treated with orbital atherectomy, severe restenosis, and critical calcifications in challenging anatomies, showcasing advanced techniques for plaque modification and lesion management.

This session highlights innovative transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) approaches for treating aortic regurgitation, focusing on off-label uses and complex cases. It features high-risk patient interventions, including nonagenarian patients, and strategies to manage severe non-calcific native valve regurgitation with balloon-expandable valves.

This session explores alternative access strategies for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) when the transfemoral route is not feasible. It covers complex scenarios including transcaval TAVI complications, transaxillary approaches, management of extra-large annuli with peripheral artery disease, and innovative transcarotid valve-in-valve procedures.

Dejan Milasinovic provides his take on the REVIVED trial - percutaneous revascularisation for ischaemic ventricular dysfunction, which was presented during ESC Congress 2022 in Barcelona.

This case highlights the potential add-on value of reduced-order computational modeling over standard CT scan analysis due to its ability to predict the interaction of different devices or sizes with the patient-specific anatomy.

Paris, France, 16 May 2023. Within 20 years of its first appearance on the clinical stage, transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI) has become an established treatment option for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) that is supported by Class IA recommendations in current European and...

Paris, France. At EuroPCR 2023, the interventional community paid tribute to Emergency Medical Services throughout the world for their critical role in enabling timely care. International representatives of emergency medical services received the Andreas Grüntzig Ethica Award at the opening ceremony of this year’s Course, further...

Paris, France, 17 May 2023.  The field of coronary drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty looks set to assume growing importance in the years to come and the potential for increased use of these devices in clinical practice is considerable.

EuroPCR, the annual world-leading Course in interventional cardiovascular medicine, has been taking place for over 30 years. It is tailored for all those dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and skills, and improvement of patient care worldwide: interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, imaging specialists, radiologists, nurses, allied...

EuroPCR is celebrating being back home in Paris, in-person, for the first time in 3 years. This year’s international Course will see both a complete on-site programme and a full digital experience, bringing the community together to share and learn.

Paris, France. 21 May 2021.  Since 1989, EuroPCR has constantly pioneered innovative educational tools and formats to help the interventional cardiovascular community effectively share their knowledge, skills and practice. Rising up to the challenge of the pandemic, the 31st annual edition was fundamentally rethought, reshaped and...

Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on UNIVERSAL randomized clinical trial, which questioned whether routine ultrasonography guidance for CFA access for cardiac procedures reduces bleeding or vascular complications. This trial was presented by Sanjit S. Jolly during TCT 2022.
