Imaging to the rescue in LAA closure
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights the pivotal role of advanced imaging modalities in left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. Topics include novel risk assessment workflows for air embolism, evaluation protocols using cardiac CT and 3D TEE, reproducibility of anatomical classifications, and long-term follow-up outcomes with various imaging techniques.
Navigating the complexity of high bleeding risk
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focusing on patients with high bleeding risk undergoing PCI, this session presents contemporary evidence on prevalence, procedural strategies with different stent types, antiplatelet therapy considerations including diabetic and sex-specific outcomes, and novel technologies such as sirolimus-coated balloons and machine learning models for restenosis prediction.
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.
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.

Primary Outcomes of a Pivotal Multicenter Randomized Trial Comparing the AGENT Paclitaxel-Coated Ballon with Conventional Ballon Angioplasty for In-Stent Restenosis (AGENT IDE)
27 Oct 2023
Mirvat Alasnag provides her take on the AGENT IDE trial which was presented by Robert W. Yeh at TCT Congress 2023. This pivotal randomized trial compares the safety and efficacy of the AGENT DCB to conventional balloon angioplasty in patients with ISR. It is the first...

The greatest advance in the next 40 years would be to remove the need for angioplasty
17 May 2017
Spencer B. King performed some of the first coronary angioplasty procedures in the USA—having recently received a thank-you from the first patient that he treated. He tells The Daily Wire that the steerable guidewire, rather than the stent, was the greatest advance in angioplasty and that...

A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of chronic total occlusion PCI in stable angina - ORBITA-CTO trial
03 Apr 2026
Kalaivani Mahadevan provides an in-depth analysis of the ORBITA-CTO trial: a first-ever randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating CTO PCI in stable angina patients.
She also interviewed principal investigators Sarosh Khan and John Davies following the LBCT Scientific Session at ACC.26 in New Orleans and simultaneous publication in...
