Primary PCI dilemmas: when imaging saves the day

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session highlights the pivotal role of imaging in resolving dilemmas during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It presents complex cases illustrating challenges such as coronary compression, thrombus burden in large vessels, and culprit lesion identification, including the use of high-definition intravascular ultrasound (HD-IVUS) to reclassify...

Left main complications - Part 2

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session covers intricate complications involving the left main coronary artery (LMCA), highlighting cases of catheter-induced dissections, challenges in chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI, and rare scenarios such as stent entrapment and complex re-interventions. Emphasis is placed on the critical utility of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and...

Fighting intracardiac masses

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on the percutaneous management of intracardiac masses, presenting innovative approaches such as angiovac-assisted vegetation removal, management of mechanical mitral valve complications, and treatment options for right ventricular tumors.
