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.
Comparison of noncompliant balloon with drug-coating balloon angioplasties for side branch after provisional stenting for patients with true coronary bifurcation lesions: The prospective, multicenter, randomized DCB-BIF Trial
03 Nov 2024
Aaysha Cader provides her take on the DCB-BIF Trial presented by Shao-Liang Chen at TCT 2024 in Washington.

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.
