When the angiogram shows no answer for your AMI patient: what's next?

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on non-occlusive causes of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) when angiograms do not reveal clear pathology. It emphasizes the diagnostic value of intracoronary imaging for conditions such as MINOCA and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), and discusses optimal treatment strategies and prognostic considerations.

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...

Stentless PCI, DCB and BVS in complex scenarios

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the use of stentless percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) employing drug-coated balloons (DCB) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BVS) in complex coronary scenarios. Through detailed case discussions, it addresses decision-making processes, technical considerations, and practical tips for successfully completing PCI without permanent stenting.

DCB - Going beyond in-stent restenosis

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines the expanding role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) beyond in-stent restenosis, including treatment of acute coronary syndromes, calcified lesions, and bifurcations. It reviews current evidence supporting DCB-based revascularization and outlines essential procedural steps to optimize outcomes.

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...

New tools for risk stratification in STEMI

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session highlights novel tools and scores for risk stratification in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. It covers prognostic indices such as the index of microcirculatory resistance, the PREDICT-STEMI score, thrombus characteristics, sex differences in outcomes, renal impairment impacts, and benefits of complete revascularization strategies.

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,...

Complications in coronary interventions

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session reviews uncommon and challenging complications encountered during coronary interventions. Cases include brachial arteriovenous fistula following radial access, retained guidewires, coronary sinus perforation during device implantation, and complex atherectomy procedures, emphasizing preparedness and management strategies.

Future directions of drug-coated balloon angioplasty

06 Feb 2025

Fernando Alfonso and Javier Cuesta discuss the growing role of drug-coated balloons as an alternative to stents in percutaneous coronary interventions. Highlighting advantages like reduced in-stent restenosis, they emphasize the need for robust clinical studies to refine DCB use.
