Strategies to enhance bifurcation PCI outcomes

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses strategies to optimize outcomes in coronary bifurcation PCI. It evaluates the impact of cutting and scoring balloons versus non-compliant balloons on stent expansion, predictors of target vessel revascularization using the POKI technique, and compares stent and non-stent approaches in side branch myocardial infarction...

Aortic stenosis: from diagnostic to treatment

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session provides an in-depth review of contemporary management of aortic stenosis, covering diagnostic advancements, temporal trends, and treatment outcomes.
