SCAI Scientific Sessions 2026 – Videos + PPTs

SCAI Scientific Sessions 2026 covers coronary, structural, peripheral vascular, and congenital intervention, alongside leadership and clinical research. The April 23–25 meeting in Montreal included the CAIC-ACCI Summit, with sessions on complex PCI, imaging and physiology, transcatheter valve therapies, cardiogenic shock, and limb preservation. Featured research includes device studies and outcomes analyses, while keynote and panel sessions consider innovation and the development of interventional practice. This MedicalAmboss listing is offered as videos plus PowerPoint materials. The program subjects, research titles, and named faculty below describe the original scientific meeting; they should not be read as a confirmed file-by-file inventory.
