Post myocardial infarction and iatrogenic VSDs: case-based decision taking

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on decision-making in post-myocardial infarction and iatrogenic ventricular septal defects (VSDs) through illustrative cases. It covers transcatheter closure techniques, zero contrast interventions guided by echocardiography, and innovative approaches to late and residual VSDs following congenital heart surgery.

Challenging clinical scenarios in STEMI

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores challenging clinical scenarios in STEMI, including coronary embolisation from aortic valve vegetation, blunt chest trauma-related STEMI, intramural hematoma diagnostics with multimodality imaging, acute stent thrombosis during dengue recovery, and advanced clot removal techniques beyond standard aspiration devices.

Let's train! How to build a functional training programme for our team?

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses the common barriers to effective cathlab training and offers a structured approach to building a functional training program tailored to your team's needs. Emphasis is placed on sustainable training models, teamwork, and evaluation methods to ensure competency development and continuous improvement in interventional...

Left main PCI, what is known and what is new

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines both established knowledge and novel advances in left main PCI. Topics include the use of novel stents and laser atherectomy in calcified lesions, the prognostic impact of cardiac motion during bifurcation PCI, effects of left ventricular dysfunction, and sex-specific survival outcomes, as well...

Inflammation and cardiovascular risk

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Exploring the interplay between inflammation and cardiovascular risk, this session reviews contemporary research on residual risk post-PCI, inflammatory markers in coronary artery disease especially in type 2 diabetes and ACS, and prognostic tools including lipoprotein(a) and systemic inflammation indices.

Modern risk prediction in TAVI

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines modern risk prediction models in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It presents novel scoring systems, the prognostic significance of cardiac damage extent and progression, and the impact of multivalvular disease, enhancing patient stratification and outcome prediction.

Haemodynamic support: from shock to complex high-risk interventional problems

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines haemodynamic support from cardiogenic shock through to complex high-risk interventional cardiology procedures. It features registry data, clinical outcomes, and procedural techniques including mechanical circulatory support and arterial access strategies.
