Insight from new evidence for complex PCI: value of imaging (CHIP IVUS) and left ventricular support (CHIP BCIS 3)

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session reviews the impact of recent evidence on complex PCI, highlighting the value of intracoronary imaging (CHIP IVUS trial) and left ventricular assist devices (CHIP BCIS 3 trial). Through case discussions, participants reflect on how these innovations influence daily clinical practice and enhance procedural planning...

Risk stratification and reperfusion strategies for acute and subacute pulmonary embolism

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Focus on risk stratification and reperfusion strategies for acute and subacute pulmonary embolism through this session. It discusses the impact of elective endovascular therapies in intermediate-high risk patients, intraprocedural complications, and early mortality associated with catheter interventions. Additionally, it reviews real-world outcomes of catheter-directed therapy, national...

Challenging procedures for bifurcation lesions

22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Explore a series of challenging cases in coronary bifurcation interventions, highlighting complex decision-making scenarios, pharmaco-invasive strategies guided by IVUS, and tailored techniques for reintervention. Emphasis is placed on imaging-guided PCI and simplifying complex double bifurcation and long lesion treatments to optimize patient outcomes.

Beyond stent: use of DCB in CTO

22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on the innovative use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions. It reviews combined plaque modification techniques, complex multivessel PCI cases involving CTOs, and strategy considerations such as hybrid therapy versus full metal jacket, emphasizing vessel biology preservation during revascularisation.

Frequency and safety of bioprosthetic valve fracture in patients undergoing valve in valve TAVR for failed surgical valves using the SAPIEN 3/Ultra Valves: Insights from real-world data

19 Sep 2022

Michele Pighi provides his take on this trial which aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of VIV-TAVI with or without bioprosthetic valve fracture. It was presented by Santiago Garcia during the TCT Congress 2022.
