DCB: does coating morphology matter for distal embolisation and clinical outcomes?
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy continues to evolve, with increasing attention on how coating design may influence drug transfer, vessel response and downstream clinical outcomes.
This EuroPCR 2026 session examines the role of coating morphology, comparing amorphous and crystalline technologies and their implications for drug delivery efficiency and...
MagicTouch sirolimus-coated balloon for coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease treatment: where evidence meets experience
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines the clinical evidence and experiential insights regarding the MagicTouch sirolimus-coated balloon (SCB) for treating coronary and peripheral artery disease. It reviews long-term comparative data versus paclitaxel-coated balloons, application techniques, integration into current practices, and findings from major trials such as SIRONA and SIMPLE-DM,...
Angiography-based physiology: time to change your routine clinical practice?
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session offers a critical appraisal of angiography-based physiology, with a focus on virtual fractional flow reserve (vFFR) technology. It reviews the latest clinical evidence, including insights from the FAST study programme and the FAST III randomised controlled trial. Gain a clear understanding of current guideline...
Beyond visualisation: the value and future of 4D intracardiac echocardiography in tricuspid repair and replacement
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Explore the transformative role of 4D intracardiac echocardiography in guiding tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and valve replacement for tricuspid regurgitation. This session highlights how real-time, high-resolution imaging enhances procedural efficiency and safety, reducing reliance on general anesthesia and shortening procedure times compared to traditional imaging modalities.
Where to leave less behind: non-invasive CT and angiography-derived physiology for DCB lesion selection
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session elucidates the role of non-invasive coronary CT and angiography-derived physiology in guiding lesion selection for drug-eluting balloon PCI. It emphasises integrating anatomical and physiological data to refine lesion preparation, strategy, and validation beyond angiography, and identifies scenarios where DEB PCI may not be optimal,...
Reshaping what's possible in complex PCI with advanced sirolimus technology
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focused on advancing complex PCI, this session explores strategies to minimise metal use through advanced sirolimus technologies and drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapies. It highlights the biological and pharmacokinetic characteristics of DCBs, key device design considerations, and practical approaches to less-metal PCI. Clinical cases illustrate challenges such...
From 3D coronary imaging to calcium modification, the future of PCI starts now
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into the cutting-edge integration of 3D coronary imaging and calcium modification techniques in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Participants will understand how 3DStent visualization enhances PCI optimization beyond conventional angiography, learn to characterize coronary calcification pre-PCI using advanced imaging tools, and incorporate practical workflows...
Contemporary workflow for class IA PCI
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This EuroPCR 2026 session presents a contemporary workflow for Class IA PCI, focusing on how coronary physiology can be used to better understand disease patterns and guide procedural strategy in complex interventions.
It explores the role of physiological assessment in refining decision-making, alongside new co- and tri-registration...
