Monotherapy vs. DAPT: striking the balance between ischemia and bleeding

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines the balance between ischemic and bleeding risks by comparing monotherapy regimens and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following PCI. Key topics include clopidogrel versus aspirin monotherapy, aspirin discontinuation timing after ACS, and the impact of P2Y12 adherence on clinical outcomes in high-risk and oral...

TAVI: head-to-head trials

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session presents head-to-head comparisons of TAVI devices from recent randomized trials and registries. Highlights include three-year outcomes from the SMART trial, two-year data from the LANDMARK trial on contemporary valves, comparisons of intra- and supra-annular self-expanding valves, evaluations in large annuli, the ALLEGRA trial focusing...

Safe management of assisted PCI : what can go wrong

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Explore the complexities and potential complications associated with assisted PCI in this session. Topics include challenges such as microaxial pump kinks, technical aspects of IMPELLA device deployment, and the management of high-risk PCI cases including patients with prior TAVI, highlighting strategies to mitigate risks during protected...

Complex endovascular and pulmonary interventions

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Explore advances in complex endovascular and pulmonary interventions, including the transformation of interventional labs into intelligent learning ecosystems, innovative approaches to peripheral and coronary CTOs, and novel therapies such as extravascular renal denervation and fixation catheters for acute pulmonary embolism.

Imaging guided ultralow contrast PCI

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on imaging-guided ultralow contrast PCI techniques designed to minimize contrast-induced nephropathy risk. It includes IVUS-guided strategies for distal left main bifurcation PCI, zero-contrast interventions in renal transplant patients, and precision stent placement without contrast use, emphasizing safety, precision, and frugality in contemporary PCI...

What bench testing teaches us about real world PCI

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores bench testing insights into real-world percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Topics include comparative expansion ratios of coronary stents, prognostic assessments after drug-coated balloon treatments, mechanical performance of magnesium scaffolds in bifurcations, preclinical safety and computational modeling of bioresorbable polymer-coated stents, and evaluations of commonly...

Assessment of vasomotor coronary disorders in the cathlab

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on the invasive assessment of vasomotor coronary disorders within the catheterization laboratory. It reviews clinical profiles, endothelial function evaluation using acetylcholine and advanced hemodynamic methods, coronary volume analysis, and refined classification of coronary spasm, enhancing diagnostic accuracy in patients with suspected ischemia and...

Lost, crushed, fractured: stent complications in real life

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses real-world challenges of stent complications including loss, crushing, and fracture during PCI. Through case-based discussions, it explores complex scenarios such as stent dislodgement, embolisation, and management strategies when initial plans evolve into complicated realities.
