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...
Left main interventions: pushing the boundaries
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Examine contemporary strategies for distal left main bifurcation disease treatment, including debates on complex bifurcation and high-risk PCI approaches. The session emphasizes the critical role of coronary imaging in guiding decision-making and showcases clinical cases illustrating management of left main interventions under challenging conditions.
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.

30 years of primary PCI – a tale of perseverance
16 May 2023
Over the last 30 years, primary PCI (pPCI) has evolved from an experimental ‘rescue’ intervention to an essential routine procedure – performed daily in cathlabs around the world – which is responsible for saving millions of lives. However, its path to success was far from smooth.
