When the angiogram shows no answer for your AMI patient: what's next?

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on non-occlusive causes of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) when angiograms do not reveal clear pathology. It emphasizes the diagnostic value of intracoronary imaging for conditions such as MINOCA and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), and discusses optimal treatment strategies and prognostic considerations.

Stentless PCI, DCB and BVS in complex scenarios

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the use of stentless percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) employing drug-coated balloons (DCB) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BVS) in complex coronary scenarios. Through detailed case discussions, it addresses decision-making processes, technical considerations, and practical tips for successfully completing PCI without permanent stenting.

DCB - Going beyond in-stent restenosis

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session examines the expanding role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) beyond in-stent restenosis, including treatment of acute coronary syndromes, calcified lesions, and bifurcations. It reviews current evidence supporting DCB-based revascularization and outlines essential procedural steps to optimize outcomes.

Reliability and application of angio-based physiology in daily work

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session evaluates the reliability and clinical application of angiography-based physiological assessments in daily practice. Topics include comparisons of angiography-derived microvascular resistance and flow metrics with invasive methods, reproducibility of quantitative flow ratio (QFR), and its correlation with symptom burden and other imaging modalities.

How to snare a TAVI when crossing is too complex

30 Jan 2025

Crossing the aortic valve can pose significant challenges, particularly in cases involving a horizontal aorta, bulky asymmetric calcifications, or prior prosthesis implantation in valve-in-valve procedures. While some TAVI devices feature deflectable delivery systems to enhance coaxiality, current self-expanding valves lack this capability. When standard techniques like...
