When we think of CT angio we usually think of risk stratification, prevention and diagnosis. But CT angio can also be used to plan your PCI procedures ! Dr. Evan Shlofmitz and I discuss how it can be used for stent sizing, stent length to assure you are stenting from normal to normal vessel walls (not lumens) and other advantages. s/b Heartflow clinicaltrialresults.org/whe…

Don’t miss our OPCI Coronary Observation Course from June 14 – 15th led by Prof Ziad Ali (@ziadalinyc), and Drs Allen Jeremias (@DrAllenJ) and Evan Shlofmitz (@ESHLOF). During this two-day program, you’ll gain a deeper understanding into the latest in complex PCI treatment strategies within a select, small group setting — including how to integrate intravascular imaging and #ShockwaveIVL into your calcium modification workflow — through live case observation, didactics and interactive discussion. Register today to attend this exciting course at St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center: web.cvent.com/event/8e0b5f19…  Presenting physicians are paid consultants of Shockwave Medical. US Rx only.

A strong thread ran through #EuroPCR 2026: how to better prevent, anticipate and solve complications in daily practice. “Learning by sharing” remains one of the foundations of interventional cardiology, and we could see it everywhere in the Course - across LIVE cases, case-based discussions, Learning Sessions and practical workshops. The focus remained firmly on what matters most in the cathlab: decision-making, preparation, and learning from real-world complexity. At the same time, it was encouraging to see the continued growth of late-breaking science and research, something which is increasingly a focus for us as Course Directors. I was particularly pleased to see the enthusiasm around two new additions shaped directly by educational needs expressed by our community: the Calcium Skills Lab and the dedicated CTO track. The level of engagement throughout both was remarkable. Thank you to the 12,147 participants and presenters who made these exchanges possible. And a special thank you to all the faculty for their dedication to ensuring the best possible education for all! @CuissetDr @nicolasdumonte1 @PCRonline #interventionalcardiology #science #clinicalresearch #cardioed

🔥 NOW ONLINE 🔥simultaneous presentation #EuroPCR PECTUS-OBS LONG TERM FOLLOW-UP In this study, OCT-identified high-risk non-culprit plaques with negative FFR were associated with a significantly higher risk of long-term adverse cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction. At 5 years, patients with at least one high-risk plaque had increased rates of non-fatal MI and unplanned revascularization despite non-flow limiting physiology. 🔗eurointervention.pcronline.c… @RickVolleberg @NielsRoyen @RGeuns

🔎 Can OCT identify vulnerable plaques even when FFR is negative? @RickVolleberg discusses the key findings of the PECTUS-obs study with @NicolaRyan, presented today at #EuroPCR. Simultaneously published in EuroIntervention, the study shows that high-risk plaques identified by #OCT in FFR-negative non-culprit lesions are associated with worse long-term clinical outcomes after MI.

2026 is an exceptional year for science at #EuroPCR so do take a look at all the work and research included in this year's Abstract Book.

IVUS-used vs. IVUS-guided. Hear fresh insights from the IVUS-CHIP trial at ACC.26, as Drs. @Nyalborgesmd, @ESHLOF, and @jbspadoni share expert perspectives and how these findings play an important role in the clinical application of IVUS data. Dive into the data: qrco.de/bgoLT4

Intense, yet fabulous, hands-on pre-course imaging session just concluded! Key points: Not all calcium is the same Expansion is more critical than apposition It’s okay to look at CCTA even if you’re interventional Just do IVI

Today we completed the first cases using the HyperVue Integrated System at @StFrancis_LI , performed by Dr. Richard A. Shlofmitz and @DrAllenJ. This milestone marks the first platform directly installed into the cath lab that combines DeepOCT NIRS and X1-FFR physiology in one system — delivering efficient workflows and precise insights for PCI optimization. Thank you to the team at St. Francis for partnering with us on this big step forward in interventional cardiology!
