Insight from new evidence for complex PCI: value of imaging (CHIP IVUS) and left ventricular support (CHIP BCIS 3)
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session reviews the impact of recent evidence on complex PCI, highlighting the value of intracoronary imaging (CHIP IVUS trial) and left ventricular assist devices (CHIP BCIS 3 trial). Through case discussions, participants reflect on how these innovations influence daily clinical practice and enhance procedural planning...
Left main interventions: pushing the boundaries
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Examine contemporary strategies for distal left main bifurcation disease treatment, including debates on complex bifurcation and high-risk PCI approaches. The session emphasizes the critical role of coronary imaging in guiding decision-making and showcases clinical cases illustrating management of left main interventions under challenging conditions.
Challenging procedures for bifurcation lesions
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Explore a series of challenging cases in coronary bifurcation interventions, highlighting complex decision-making scenarios, pharmaco-invasive strategies guided by IVUS, and tailored techniques for reintervention. Emphasis is placed on imaging-guided PCI and simplifying complex double bifurcation and long lesion treatments to optimize patient outcomes.
Beyond stent: use of DCB in CTO
22 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session focuses on the innovative use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions. It reviews combined plaque modification techniques, complex multivessel PCI cases involving CTOs, and strategy considerations such as hybrid therapy versus full metal jacket, emphasizing vessel biology preservation during revascularisation.
A new meta-analysis supports elective revascularization and medical therapy for reducing cardiac death
18 May 2021
The ISCHEMIA trial found no significant difference between an invasive vs. a conservative strategy in patients with chronic coronary syndromes and moderate to severe ischemia at a mean of 3.2 years. However, the cumulative difference in the estimates of cardiac death between the invasive and conservative...
EuroPCR 2025 – Meta-Analysis of Individual Patient Data from the PROTECTED TAVR and BHF PROTECT-TAVI Trials
21 May 2025
Paris, France, 20-23 May 2025. The EuroPCR Course Directors have selected 3 major late-breaking trials that will be presented for the first time during the 2025 edition of EuroPCR. These trials were selected because of their design, results, and potential to impact practice, among which is the...

Drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology: A pioneer’s view of the historical evolution and future directions
08 Jan 2025
In this article, Bruno Scheller explores advances in local drug delivery, from drug-coated balloons to novel antiproliferative agents. These innovations aim to reduce restenosis, minimize permanent implants, and pave the way for patient-specific coronary artery disease treatments.
