This session delves into the complexities of managing complications during STEMI interventions. Through real-world cases from Algeria, Malaysia, and Pakistan, it provides comprehensive analyses of challenging scenarios, treatment strategies, and key learnings, emphasizing the critical decision-making required to navigate complications and improve patient outcomes in high-stakes...

Focused on the formidable challenges posed by coronary calcium, this session presents three compelling cases illustrating complications, procedural crashes, and successful recoveries. Participants learn detailed approaches to treating PCI complications related to calcified lesions and develop a skillset aimed at prevention and effective management of these...

This multinational session highlights advanced approaches to complex PCI involving heavily calcified coronary arteries. It aims to enhance mastery of contemporary calcium modification tools, reinforce decision-making skills in high-risk, complication-prone interventions, and optimize imaging-guided assessment of coronary calcium through illustrative cases from Bulgaria, Romania, and Tunisia.

Explore pioneering advancements in coronary interventions with first-in-man and novel devices. This session presents groundbreaking studies including cryotherapy for vulnerable plaques, a novel intravascular crossing system for coronary CTOs, sirolimus-coated retrievable scaffold therapy for in-stent restenosis, real-time intravascular photoacoustic imaging of lipid-rich plaques, and the inaugural...

View a snapshot of the results of these 4 trials in valvular and structural interventions presented in London during this year's Heart Team Course!

Dejan Milasinovic provides his take on the REVIVED trial - percutaneous revascularisation for ischaemic ventricular dysfunction, which was presented during ESC Congress 2022 in Barcelona.

This case highlights the potential add-on value of reduced-order computational modeling over standard CT scan analysis due to its ability to predict the interaction of different devices or sizes with the patient-specific anatomy.

Paris, France, 16 May 2023. Within 20 years of its first appearance on the clinical stage, transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI) has become an established treatment option for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) that is supported by Class IA recommendations in current European and...

Paris, France. At EuroPCR 2023, the interventional community paid tribute to Emergency Medical Services throughout the world for their critical role in enabling timely care. International representatives of emergency medical services received the Andreas Grüntzig Ethica Award at the opening ceremony of this year’s Course, further...

Paris, France, 17 May 2023.  The field of coronary drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty looks set to assume growing importance in the years to come and the potential for increased use of these devices in clinical practice is considerable.

EuroPCR, the annual world-leading Course in interventional cardiovascular medicine, has been taking place for over 30 years. It is tailored for all those dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and skills, and improvement of patient care worldwide: interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, imaging specialists, radiologists, nurses, allied...

EuroPCR is celebrating being back home in Paris, in-person, for the first time in 3 years. This year’s international Course will see both a complete on-site programme and a full digital experience, bringing the community together to share and learn.
