Left main PCI: predictions of risk and long-term clinical outcome
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on risk prediction and long-term outcomes following left main percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It covers biomarkers like NT-proBNP, hemodynamic predictors, and the impact of comorbidities such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease on patient prognosis over a ten-year follow-up.
INOCA in patients with coronary artery disease
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) in patients with coronary artery disease. It raises awareness of common clinical presentations, emphasizes accurate diagnosis through functional coronary testing, and discusses how tailored treatment strategies can improve patient outcomes in this frequently under-recognized condition.
Right-sided interventions and impact on the right heart
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines right-sided cardiac interventions and their impact on right heart function. Topics include prognostic implications of right ventricular wall tension, novel metrics for RV-PA coupling, clinical effects of severe tricuspid regurgitation, and strategies for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in complex right ventricular outflow tract...
Calcium in the coronary arteries - What could go wrong?
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session delves into the complexities of treating calcified coronary artery lesions, highlighting strategic selection of PCI approaches, anticipation of potential complications, and agile adaptation of techniques to manage these challenges effectively. Featuring real-world cases from Ireland and the United Kingdom, it provides critical learnings on...
Technical decision-making for CTO PCI strategy
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on technical decision-making for chronic total occlusion PCI strategy. It presents diverse approaches to right coronary CTOs, complex management involving double rendezvous techniques, subintimal strategies, and innovative single-injection methods, demonstrating the evolving frontiers in CTO intervention.
Challenges for TAVI in bicuspid
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the unique challenges encountered during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with bicuspid aortic valves. It covers procedural nuances for type 0 bicuspid valves, risks associated with anomalous coronary anatomy, and complex anatomical considerations such as large annulus and tortuous aorta, culminating...
Challenging PCI on bifurcation lesions
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Addressing the complexities of PCI in bifurcation lesions, this session highlights novel techniques such as the TAP and modified mini-crush methods, alongside strategies for managing challenging coronary anatomy. Validation of novel approaches like POT-side DCB-POT for left main bifurcations is also featured.
Asymptomatic high-risk patients: can CT coronary angiography improve our practice?
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session examines the role of cardiac computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography in improving clinical practice for asymptomatic high-risk patients. It discusses detection of vulnerable plaque features, the importance of inflammation and physiology in risk assessment, and explores individualized treatment pathways including PCI, medical therapy, or...
BYPASS-CTCA: The value of computed tomography cardiac angiography in improving patient satisfaction and reducing contrast load, procedural duration and complications in patients who had previous CABG undergoing invasive coronary angiography
19 Sep 2022
Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BYPASS-CTCA Study which was presented by Daniel A. Jones at the TCT Congress 2022.
It must be understood that the paper has yet to be published for this study therefore all assumptions are based upon the presented data.

When transfemoral TAVI is not an option: rethinking alternative access strategies
18 Jun 2026
In this article, Ulrich Schäfer explores the evolving landscape of access strategies in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the transfemoral approach remains the gold standard, a significant proportion of patients are not suitable due to peripheral vascular disease or anatomical constraints.
Drawing on clinical evidence and...
