This abstracts session presents contemporary research and clinical insights in interventional cardiology, covering topics such as colchicine therapy post-stenting, ranolazine use in chronic coronary syndrome, artificial intelligence applications in quantitative coronary analysis, and optimization techniques in transcatheter aortic valve implantation. It also explores novel predictors of...

A 60-year-old male with hypertension, type II diabetes, and moderately impaired LV function (45%), has a history of LAD PCI treated with three Cypher stents in 2006. He underwent further treatment for LAD in-stent restenosis in 2012, 2020, and 2022 using a new stent and DCB....

This session addresses the complexities of PCI in post-CABG patients, focusing on the application of intravascular imaging and functional assessment to guide strategy. It discusses clinical and anatomical factors influencing the choice between native vessel and graft PCI, and explores management techniques for unyielding graft lesions,...

This session presents a comprehensive exploration of vascular interventions, highlighting advanced techniques such as retrograde tibial artery approaches for long CTO lesions in the superficial femoral artery, catheter-directed thrombectomy for bilateral pulmonary embolism, and innovative endovascular management of pulmonary haemorrhages in Eisenmenger syndrome. Case reports and...

Explore the management of heavily calcified LAD lesions in this PCRGulf-GIM 2025 session. Discover how OCT imaging guides lesion assessment, differentiates superficial from deep calcium, and informs the need for plaque modification. Learn when and how to use orbital atherectomy or intravascular lithotripsy, and follow the...

This session examines complex bifurcation interventions, addressing challenging cases such as isolated Medina 0,0,1 left main bifurcation and imaging-guided trifurcation angioplasty in acute coronary syndromes. It emphasizes strategic approaches and device selection to overcome anatomical complexities, manage complications, and achieve successful outcomes in bifurcation PCI.

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...

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.

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...

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.

Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on UNIVERSAL randomized clinical trial, which questioned whether routine ultrasonography guidance for CFA access for cardiac procedures reduces bleeding or vascular complications. This trial was presented by Sanjit S. Jolly during TCT 2022.

Paris, France. 21 May 2021.  Since 1989, EuroPCR has constantly pioneered innovative educational tools and formats to help the interventional cardiovascular community effectively share their knowledge, skills and practice. Rising up to the challenge of the pandemic, the 31st annual edition was fundamentally rethought, reshaped and...
