Place of DCB in clinical practice
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores the clinical applications of drug-coated balloons (DCB) across diverse challenging scenarios. It covers management of severely calcified nodules in acute coronary syndrome, healing of intentional dissections in chronic total occlusions using paclitaxel DCB, strategic integration of contemporary technology in complex lesion treatment, and...
Transcatheter mitral valve replacement - LIVE case
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
A 65‑year‑old woman with obesity (BMI 38.7), prior cardiac surgery (CABG to OM and LAD in 2012), and chronic kidney disease presented with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation (Carpentier type III: type IIIa due to calcification and type IIIb post‑MI) with moderately reduced LVEF (45%).
A transcatheter mitral...
New frontiers: TAVI for aortic regurgitation with conventional and dedicated devices
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores new frontiers in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for treating pure aortic regurgitation. It addresses the challenges inherent to this indication, reviews treatment approaches using conventional balloon-expandable and self-expandable devices, and presents recent data along with dedicated TAVI devices designed specifically for aortic...
Tough scenarios in multivessel disease
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses challenging scenarios in multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly when surgical options are limited. Case discussions include IVUS-guided PCI with rotational atherectomy, management of combined severe aortic stenosis and multivessel disease, acute mitral regurgitation with cardiogenic shock, anomalous coronary anatomy, severe kidney disease,...
Lessons from the long-term DES data: how they can inform today's practice
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews long-term clinical data on drug-eluting stents (DES) and bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS), offering valuable insights to inform current interventional cardiology practice. It covers seven-year outcomes of magnesium scaffolds in ACS, five-year results of sirolimus-eluting iron BRS, and extensive post-market studies of various thin-strut and...
CTO BASIC Level I: LIVE Educational Cases from Institut Cardiovasculaire Paris Sud, France & University Hospital Basel, Switzerland
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This educational session provides a foundational understanding of chronic total occlusions (CTO) through live case presentations from leading centers in Paris and Basel. It covers CTO pathophysiology, angiographic analysis, and essential technical skills including guide catheter support, wire escalation, and microcatheter use. The session aims to...
Innovative strategy in ACS
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Focusing on innovative strategies in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), this session reviews recent advances including drug-coated balloons in STEMI, early discharge safety guided by microcirculatory resistance indices, intravascular lithotripsy for coronary calcification in ACS, and novel stenting protocols demonstrated in randomized trials, providing a comprehensive update...
Complex PCI - Best cases from PCR Global Interventional Academy - Part 1
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents some of the best complex PCI cases from the PCR Global Interventional Academy, highlighting challenging scenarios such as thrombus management, precision in left main interventions, dual left anterior descending artery anatomy, and tailored strategies for very complex left main PCI, accompanied by key...
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.
OPTIMUM: Outcomes of Percutaneous RevascularizaTIon for Management of SUrgically Ineligible Patients with Multivessel or Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
04 Nov 2021
Mirvat Alasnag reviews the OPTIMUM trial, presented by David E. Kandzari, which reports outcomes in a subset of patients who are increasingly seen in modern day catheterization laboratories. It is noteworthy that 1 in 5 patients with left main or multivessel disease are considered surgically ineligible.
