Stent failure evaluation with intracoronary imaging

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session provides an in-depth evaluation of stent failure using intracoronary imaging modalities such as IVUS and OCT. It presents diverse cases illustrating late drug-eluting stent failure, in-stent restenosis, neoatherosclerosis, and complications following rotational atherectomy, underscoring imaging's role in diagnosis and guiding reintervention.

Leaflet modification techniques during TAVI

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores leaflet modification techniques during TAVI, focusing on complex valve-in-valve procedures supported by artificial intelligence-powered planning and advanced imaging. Case discussions cover challenges such as low valve-to-coronary distances, bi-leaflet obstruction, and strategies to maintain coronary flow and hemodynamic stability.

Pulmonary valve: the next frontier in adult structural interventions

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session highlights the evolving role of the pulmonary valve in adult structural interventions. It reviews complex transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) cases, strategies for managing challenging right ventricular outflow tract anatomies, and percutaneous solutions for pulmonary artery stenosis and related complications.

New techniques and tips in CTO PCI

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session presents new techniques and practical tips in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It covers innovative approaches such as the side-flap technique, simplified antegrade strategies for calcified lesions, and retrograde CTO techniques, providing valuable insights into overcoming challenging occlusions.

Thrombectomy in pulmonary embolism

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses the critical role of mechanical thrombectomy in managing pulmonary embolism, focusing on rescue interventions in refractory massive acute cases. It explores clinical and technical challenges that extend beyond current guidelines, reviews complex cases including intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism with peripheral embolism, intracardiac thrombosis,...

Place of DCB in clinical practice

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the clinical applications of drug-coated balloons (DCB) across diverse challenging scenarios. It covers management of severely calcified nodules in acute coronary syndrome, healing of intentional dissections in chronic total occlusions using paclitaxel DCB, strategic integration of contemporary technology in complex lesion treatment, and...
