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.

Choosing the right strategy for isolated ostial left anterior descending artery or circumflex coronary lesions

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines optimal strategies for managing isolated ostial lesions in the left anterior descending and circumflex arteries, comparing left main crossover, ostial stenting, and drug-coated balloon (DCB) approaches. It emphasizes integrating multimodality imaging for informed decision-making, illustrated through detailed case discussions.

How to perform angiographic check after large-sheath removal in single access procedures

18 Mar 2024

In the absence of other arterial access, this step-by-step tutorial shows how to perform anterograde angiography of the arterial axis after removal of the large sheath, making it easier to recognise and rapidly manage vascular complications such as arterial lesions and haemostasis failure.
