Rescue PCI for acute or unusual left main lesions
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores rescue PCI techniques for acute and unusual left main coronary lesions, highlighting complex cases such as left main compression syndrome in pulmonary hypertension, and challenging strategies in acute coronary syndromes with left main occlusion and anatomical variations.
Improving interventional care and occupational safety
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses advancements in interventional cardiology care quality and occupational safety. Key topics include patient-centered care perspectives, optimized catheterization lab scheduling, the impact of procedural volumes on outcomes, and innovations in radiation protection technologies.
Imaging-guided CTO PCI
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on imaging-guided CTO PCI, presenting cases that illustrate the utility of OCT, CT, and IVUS for lesion assessment and procedural guidance. Topics include woven-like CTOs, double CTO evaluation, management of late stent malapposition, and strategies for navigating complex occlusions to optimize outcomes.
Radial and distal radial artery access for PCI
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session provides an in-depth evaluation of radial and distal radial artery access for PCI, including a 20-year trend analysis of clinical outcomes, feasibility studies on distal radial interventions, and comparative real-world experiences. It also features meta-analyses of randomized trials on access approaches and early findings...
When ECMO is used in complex pulmonary embolism
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Examine the critical role of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in managing complex pulmonary embolism cases. This session covers ECMO-supported interventions for central pulmonary artery occlusions, combined treatments including thrombectomy, and unique cases such as right atrial thrombus complications and pioneering ECMO-supported thrombo-embolectomy procedures.
Leaflet modification techniques during TAVI
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores leaflet modification techniques during TAVI, focusing on complex valve-in-valve procedures supported by artificial intelligence-powered planning and advanced imaging. Case discussions cover challenges such as low valve-to-coronary distances, bi-leaflet obstruction, and strategies to maintain coronary flow and hemodynamic stability.
Pulmonary valve: the next frontier in adult structural interventions
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session highlights the evolving role of the pulmonary valve in adult structural interventions. It reviews complex transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) cases, strategies for managing challenging right ventricular outflow tract anatomies, and percutaneous solutions for pulmonary artery stenosis and related complications.
New techniques and tips in CTO PCI
19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session presents new techniques and practical tips in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It covers innovative approaches such as the side-flap technique, simplified antegrade strategies for calcified lesions, and retrograde CTO techniques, providing valuable insights into overcoming challenging occlusions.
Cool AMI EU pivotal trial- final results after trial discontinuation following ad interim analysis
18 May 2021
Results of the interim analyses performed after 12 months in the first 111 patients enrolled in phase II Cool AMI trial evaluating safety and effectiveness of systemic therapeutic hypothermia as an adjunctive therapy in anterior STEMI undergoing PCI as compared to PCI only. Analyses showed significant...

When transfemoral TAVI is not an option: rethinking alternative access strategies
18 Jun 2026
In this article, Ulrich Schäfer explores the evolving landscape of access strategies in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While the transfemoral approach remains the gold standard, a significant proportion of patients are not suitable due to peripheral vascular disease or anatomical constraints.
Drawing on clinical evidence and...
