Imaging guided ultralow contrast PCI

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session focuses on imaging-guided ultralow contrast PCI techniques designed to minimize contrast-induced nephropathy risk. It includes IVUS-guided strategies for distal left main bifurcation PCI, zero-contrast interventions in renal transplant patients, and precision stent placement without contrast use, emphasizing safety, precision, and frugality in contemporary PCI...

Mitral valve-in-valve, valve-in-ring, valve replacement: procedure challenges

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session addresses procedural challenges in mitral valve interventions, including valve-in-valve, valve-in-ring, and valve replacement techniques. It covers lifetime management of patients with atrial fixated transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), approaches to recurrent mitral regurgitation, complex valve-in-valve cases, and hybrid strategies for valve-in-ring implantation, highlighting innovative...

Intracoronary imaging guidance in challenging PCI scenarios

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session highlights the critical role of intracoronary imaging, particularly IVUS, in guiding complex percutaneous coronary interventions. It presents techniques such as IVUS-guided puncture of neo-ostia, stent implantation for ostial lesions, and innovative procedural methods like the Heart POTTER technique, underscoring the importance of precise imaging...

Beyond first implant: valve-in-valve, redo and leaflet modification

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session explores advanced transcatheter aortic valve therapies beyond the first implant, focusing on valve-in-valve, redo procedures, and leaflet modification techniques. Topics include bioprosthetic valve fracture, long-term outcomes from the DURA-ViV registry, simplified workflows for leaflet modification in redo-TAVI, and intravascular ultrasound evaluation of valve expansion...

TAVI complications: the nurses and allied professionals' perspective

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session highlights the critical role nurses and allied professionals (NAPs) play during TAVI complications. Through detailed clinical cases, it emphasizes their contributions in managing adverse events and explores the significance of structured debriefing to enhance team performance and patient outcomes.

TAVI procedural complications - Part 6: paravalvular leak, basilica and more

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Delve into complex TAVI procedural complications including paravalvular leak and challenges such as BASILICA technique failures, aortic dissection, valve infolding, and valve dislocation. This session presents real-world cases illustrating troubleshooting strategies and innovative interventions like TAVI-in-TAVI procedures to address these critical scenarios.

New insights in coronary atherosclerosis using intracoronary imaging

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session provides new insights into coronary atherosclerosis through intracoronary imaging studies. It investigates the relationship between Lp(a) levels and high-risk plaques, characteristics of vulnerable plaques and thrombus in ACS, non-culprit lesion events, lipid core burden in STEMI, and the prognostic value of AI-derived lipid-to-cap ratios,...

Intracoronary imaging insights in ACS

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Discover how intracoronary imaging advances understanding and management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). This session explores high-definition intravascular ultrasound for PCI guidance, novel predictive metrics, and the impact of emerging factors like microplastics on plaque instability, alongside pathophysiological insights into layered plaques and coronary ectasia in...

Intracoronary imaging evaluation of stent implantation

20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Focusing on intracoronary imaging evaluation of stent implantation, this session presents serial OCT data on plaque characteristics and neoatherosclerosis post-STEMI, the clinical impact of stent malapposition in ACS, long-term apposition dynamics, factors influencing stent expansion in calcified lesions by NIRS-IVUS, and OCT insights into coronary artery...
