Integrating CT coronary angiography into your PCI practice
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Integrate CT coronary angiography into your PCI practice to enhance procedural planning and outcomes. This session covers practical CT-based approaches for guiding catheter selection, lesion analysis, and stenting strategy. Learn how to leverage CT imaging to anticipate plaque preparation needs in calcified lesions and optimize catheterization...
TAVI and coronary artery disease
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Examine the evolving role of coronary artery disease assessment in TAVI patients. This session compares coronary tomography and angiography for pre-TAVI evaluation, reviews safety and effectiveness of CT angiography-based strategies, and introduces the UNICORN procedure for managing high coronary obstruction risk in complex TAVI scenarios including...
Procedural aspects of DCB PCI
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Delve into procedural aspects of drug-coated balloon (DCB) PCI with a focus on lesion preparation, antiplatelet therapy, and outcomes in real-world settings. This session reviews the impact of pre-dilatation balloons on de novo lesions, compares ticagrelor versus clopidogrel post-PCI with drug-eluting balloons, and discusses streamlined revascularization...
Calcified coronaries: novel devices and techniques
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Gain expert insights into managing calcified coronary lesions with novel devices and techniques. Topics include the safety and efficacy of rotational atherectomy, the distal rail-tracking technique, impact of burr speed and duration, innovative scoring balloon designs, and the RODIN-CUT sequential cutting balloon angioplasty method for moderate-to-severe...
The calcium challenge: stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Confront the challenges posed by coronary calcium through innovative stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment strategies. This session features analyses on the feasibility of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) alone, its use prior to drug-coated balloon angioplasty, and in treating in-stent restenosis. Outcomes following IVL-assisted PCI are reviewed...
CTO beyond the conventional: when new strategies come to the rescue
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Delve into advanced strategies for chronic total occlusion (CTO) beyond conventional methods. This session covers step-by-step re-entry techniques with electrified guidewires, approaches to CTO in small vessels, and indications and methods for occlusion of saphenous vein grafts, illustrated by detailed case discussions and key learnings.
Should STEMI treatment be related to specific clinical patient characteristics
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session evaluates whether STEMI treatment should be tailored to specific clinical patient characteristics. It includes insights into STEMI management in very young patients, benefits of revascularisation of LAD non-culprit lesions in older AMI patients, clinical outcomes from the NAMI registry for young STEMI patients, and...

Understand the pivotal role of intracoronary imaging and explore provisional and two-stent techniques through detailed case discussions...
Understanding research: insights from a groundbreaking study
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Enhance your understanding of contemporary research in PCI versus CABG with this session. Learn foundational research principles, latest study findings, and how to translate evidence into clinical practice to improve patient communication and outcomes, bridging the gap between research and everyday cardiology care.
High-risk PCI in acute coronary syndrome
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore high-risk PCI strategies in acute coronary syndrome patients who are unsuitable for surgery. This session presents insights on Killip class influence, haemodynamic support with micro-axial flow pumps, disease progression patterns in complicated STEMI, and the prognostic value of QFR-guided functional SYNTAX scores in ACS management.
Intercostal embolization of a stuck rotational atherectomy burr
02 Mar 2021
An elective right coronary artery PCI was scheduled in an 83-year-old gentleman. Due to the presence of severely diffuse and calcified disease, rotational atherectomy was decided, but the burr got entrapped in the severely calcified and tortuous proximal segment of the artery...
