Imaging to the rescue in LAA closure

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session highlights the pivotal role of advanced imaging modalities in left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. Topics include novel risk assessment workflows for air embolism, evaluation protocols using cardiac CT and 3D TEE, reproducibility of anatomical classifications, and long-term follow-up outcomes with various imaging techniques.

Navigating the complexity of high bleeding risk

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Focusing on patients with high bleeding risk undergoing PCI, this session presents contemporary evidence on prevalence, procedural strategies with different stent types, antiplatelet therapy considerations including diabetic and sex-specific outcomes, and novel technologies such as sirolimus-coated balloons and machine learning models for restenosis prediction.

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.

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.
