Check #JSCAI Special Issue on #CardiacCT Great collection of papers in Coronary Artery and Structural Heart Disease. Hope you enjoy as much as we did @JonathonLeipsic @AlexandraLansky working on it. Thanks for your trust and the opportunity to work on this @AlexandraLansky

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.com/article/long-t… @RickVolleberg @NielsRoyen @RGeuns

@ColletCarlos @crfheart @jcspratt @PCRonline @Heart_SCCT @ziadalinyc @esbrilakis It’s just about time, and we will be able to describe all features of calcium by CCTA

Same lesion, two stories: IVUS vs #CCTA Tangential signal dropout in IVUS can underestimate the calcium arc. Co-registration shows IVUS (left) vs CT (right). @crfheart @jcspratt @PCRonline @Heart_SCCT @ziadalinyc @esbrilakis @DrNataliaP

📢 NEW State-of-the-Art Review Advanced coronary imaging techniques—IVUS, OCT, NIRS, and CCTA—enable detailed assessment of plaque morphology, vulnerability, and therapeutic response. This comprehensive review by García-García et al. outlines current evidence and clinical implications. Read here: ow.ly/gxYH50Wtaso @hect2701 @sjorge4 @christosbouran1 #Cardiology #Atherosclerosis #CoronaryImaging

This State-of-the-Art review aims to facilitate a comprehensive assessment of plaque pathology using coronary imaging. It outlines how imaging characterizes plaque components and phenotypes, links plaque features to clinical events, and summarizes trials using serial imaging to assess drug effects on plaque morphology and progression. eurointervention.pcronline.com/article/advanc…

Incredible talk on cognitive load in the cath lab by Matt Siebbald at the #CTguidedPCI course. Don’t think and do at the same time! @DrNataliaP @OptimaCTO @CoreAalst

Looking forward to seeing you all in a week’s time! Here’s Dr @ziadalinyc on what’s in store at the CT-Guided PCI Course.
