A meta analysis of five randomised trials found that intravascular imaging-guided PCI reduced major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.

A new ex vivo investigation reveals that stenting achieves the desired lumen diameter in most neonatal tissue samples, outperforming balloon angioplasty.

Long-term exposure to air pollution was associated with a significantly increased risk of aortic stenosis, particularly among those with greater genetic susceptibility.

A machine-learning model accurately predicted syncope recurrence after PFO closure, potentially helping clinicians identify high-risk patients earlier.

Transcatheter treatment for tricuspid regurgitation increased more than tenfold in Germany between 2018–2023 and was associated with lower in-hospital mortality than surgery, according to data presented at EuroPCR 2026.

AI-assisted OCT support improved clinician confidence during PCI decision-making and eliminated differences between experienced and less experienced OCT users at EuroPCR 2026.

Long-term data presented at EuroPCR 2026 showed similar mortality rates after PCI or CABG for left main coronary artery disease.

Local coronary inflammation was associated with greater risk of adverse cardiovascular events after PCI than systemic inflammation alone.
