The EuroPCR 2026 Closing Ceremony marks the conclusion of this premier cardiology event, celebrating the latest advances and achievements in interventional cardiology. It offers an opportunity to reflect on the educational sessions, network with peers, and recognize outstanding contributions to the field.

Welcome to EuroPCR 2026, the premier event for interventional cardiology professionals. This edition offers cutting-edge scientific presentations, live cases, and interactive sessions designed to advance knowledge and clinical practice in cardiovascular interventions.

This session addresses the challenges of managing difficult coronary anatomy in STEMI patients through a series of complex case studies. Topics include management of aneurysms, rare aorto-ostial lesions, thrombosis interplay, PPCI in dextrocardia situs inversus, and hybrid PCI approaches for multifaceted coronary issues.

This session delves into the expansive role of pharmacology in interventional cardiology, addressing topics ranging from coronary atherostenosis to radial artery management. Key discussions include the real-world efficacy and safety of intravenous cangrelor-assisted PCI in chronic coronary syndromes, comparative analysis of intra-arterial verapamil versus placebo for...

In this article, Ulrich Schäfer explores the evolving landscape of access strategies in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the transfemoral approach remains the gold standard, a significant proportion of patients are not suitable due to peripheral vascular disease or anatomical constraints.
Drawing on clinical evidence and...
