Radial and distal radial artery access for PCI
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session provides an in-depth evaluation of radial and distal radial artery access for PCI, including a 20-year trend analysis of clinical outcomes, feasibility studies on distal radial interventions, and comparative real-world experiences. It also features meta-analyses of randomized trials on access approaches and early findings...
Devices and strategies in calcified lesions
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Explore advanced devices and techniques for treating calcified coronary lesions in this session. Discussions include the use of Eximer laser coronary atherectomy, novel cutting balloons, outcomes of rotational atherectomy in tortuous vessels, atherectomy combined with drug-coated balloon therapy, and calcium fracture patterns following Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy.
Treatment for calcified coronary artery disease in the real world
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents real-world experiences and evidence on treating calcified coronary artery disease. It includes meta-analyses comparing rotational atherectomy and balloon angioplasty, long-term outcomes of excimer laser atherectomy, and multicenter registry data on intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), particularly in diabetic and high-risk patients. The session also focuses...
Addressing difficult anatomy in STEMI patients
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the challenges of managing difficult coronary anatomy in STEMI patients through a series of complex case studies. Topics include management of aneurysms, rare aorto-ostial lesions, thrombosis interplay, PPCI in dextrocardia situs inversus, and hybrid PCI approaches for multifaceted coronary issues.
TAVI complications: impact and improvement
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines critical complications associated with TAVI and strategies to mitigate their impact. Topics include carbon-dioxide flushing to reduce brain injury, management of cardiac tamponade, AI-driven customization of TAVI in complex anatomies, and the influence of vascular complications on post-procedural quality of life.
INOCA/ANOCA: technical aspects
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session covers technical aspects critical to the evaluation and management of ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) and angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA). Key topics include the impact of guide catheter shape, injection techniques for thermodilution measurements, advanced perfusion CMR diagnostics, and the physiological...
FFR and non-hyperaemic pressure ratios
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents contemporary clinical applications of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and non-hyperaemic pressure ratios (NHPR), highlighting real-world impacts of physiology microcatheter-based indices, the interplay between epicardial stenosis and microvascular resistance, post-PCI hyperemia effects on iFR, and machine-learning driven outcome predictions.
Other right-sided and tricuspid valve interventions
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on right-sided heart valve interventions, particularly targeting tricuspid valve disease. Topics include clinical outcomes in atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation, management in the context of left-sided valvular disease, treatment approaches for tricuspid valve endocarditis, and advances in transcatheter therapies and device placements.
