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.

Challenges during PCI on bifurcation

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses the complexities of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in bifurcation lesions. It discusses decision-making strategies, techniques to avoid implanting permanent devices, the use of IVUS-guided laser atherectomy for restenosis, and approaches to challenging double bifurcation lesions including drug-coated balloon therapy.

Optimal use of dedicated device for calcified lesions

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session delves into the optimal utilization of dedicated devices for managing complex coronary calcification. Explore decision-making strategies involving orbital atherectomy and cutting balloon techniques, as well as advanced approaches like contact intravascular lithotripsy for stented calcified nodules. Additional focus is given to ablative and modifying...

PFO closure - Progression in practice

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session presents progressive insights into patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, comparing outcomes across age groups and evaluating residual shunting via transcranial Doppler. It highlights tailored antiplatelet therapy durations from the PROLONG registry, long-term safety and efficacy data, morphological variations of the fossa ovalis, and the...
