AI in imaging & the cathlab - opportunities in procedural planning & guidance

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores the role of artificial intelligence in imaging and the cathlab, emphasizing computer vision applications distinct from language models. It discusses AI's integration into procedural planning and guidance, balancing algorithmic support with physician judgement to enhance interventional cardiology workflows.

Imaging the calcified lesions: what you need to see

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session emphasizes critical imaging aspects necessary for assessing calcified coronary lesions. It addresses lesion-specific Agatston scoring, OCT-guided PCI optimization, coronary CT planning, histopathological insights, and predictors of stent underexpansion after calcium modification.

ACST-2 (Second asymptomatic carotid surgery trial): stenting vs. surgery for tight carotid stenosis

26 Aug 2021

Ali Nazmi Calik and Pascal Meier review this trial comparing CEA with CAS for patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis, which was presented by Alison Halliday (Oxford, United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland) during a Hot Line session of the ESC Congress 2021.
