Complication two: PCI complications occurring during PCI for NSTEMI

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses the spectrum of PCI complications encountered during NSTEMI interventions, including coronary perforations, challenges with unexpanded covered stents, IVUS-related issues, giant coronary aneurysms at bifurcations, and distal wire perforations, providing critical lessons in complication management and operator coordination.

New insights in coronary atherosclerosis using intracoronary imaging

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session provides new insights into coronary atherosclerosis through intracoronary imaging studies. It investigates the relationship between Lp(a) levels and high-risk plaques, characteristics of vulnerable plaques and thrombus in ACS, non-culprit lesion events, lipid core burden in STEMI, and the prognostic value of AI-derived lipid-to-cap ratios,...

Increasing efficiency in CTO PCI

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Focused on increasing efficiency in CTO PCI, this session covers diverse technical approaches including overcoming unexpected anatomical barriers, multiple wiring techniques, microchannel selection in bifurcation lesions, managing tortuous right coronary artery CTOs, unconventional strategies for uncrossable CTOs, and adapting perspectives in patients with previous CABG.

When atrial septal closure gets complex

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the complexities that arise when atrial septal closure procedures become challenging. It covers hybrid retrieval techniques for occluder devices, management of device-related complications mimicking infection, resolution of uncommon complications, and case studies including cryptogenic stroke management in athletes, highlighting procedural intricacies and solutions.

ACST-2 (Second asymptomatic carotid surgery trial): stenting vs. surgery for tight carotid stenosis

26 Aug 2021

Ali Nazmi Calik and Pascal Meier review this trial comparing CEA with CAS for patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis, which was presented by Alison Halliday (Oxford, United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland) during a Hot Line session of the ESC Congress 2021.
