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.

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.

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.

How to achieve coronary patency during TAVI

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses techniques to achieve coronary artery patency during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), highlighting advanced procedural approaches and management of high-risk anatomical scenarios.

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.

Sealing the deal: catheter based solutions for aortic disease

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Examine catheter-based solutions for aortic disease management, featuring innovative approaches to preserving branch vessels, managing vascular complications, and repairing challenging aneurysms with endografts and occluders.

Reliability and application of angio-based physiology in daily work

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session evaluates the reliability and clinical application of angiography-based physiological assessments in daily practice. Topics include comparisons of angiography-derived microvascular resistance and flow metrics with invasive methods, reproducibility of quantitative flow ratio (QFR), and its correlation with symptom burden and other imaging modalities.
