LUcerne Complex and CAlcified PCI Meeting 6.0
Workshops, lectures, and live cases in complex coronary anatomy
LUCCA 6.0 at a glance
We are delighted to announce the sixth edition of our complex coronary intervention meeting, LUCCA — LUcerne Complex and CAlcified PCI Meeting. The programme runs from Thursday, 29 April to Saturday, 1 May 2027 at the KKL Lucerne and the Luzerner Kantonsspital.
This edition places particular emphasis on
- Intravascular imaging
- Decision making
- Management of complex and calcified lesions, and new devices in the cath lab
We look forward to welcoming a distinguished national and international faculty from Europe and North America.

Why join LUCCA
Four reasons to attend: focused content on complex and calcified PCI, hands-on learning with live cases, international faculty exchange — and scheduled breaks and lunch to connect with peers.
International PCI experts
Learn directly from leading interventional cardiologists from Europe, North America, and Asia, sharing real-world experience in complex and calcified coronary interventions.
Hands-on learning & live cases
Experience live PCI cases, interactive case discussions, and five focused workshops covering calcium management, DCBs, CTO techniques, and hemodynamic support.
Complex & calcified lesion strategies
Deep dives into heavy calcifications, drug-eluting and drug-coated balloons, CHIP patients, and next-level interventional techniques grounded in current evidence.
Peer discussion & networking
Engage in open discussions with faculty and peers in an interactive environment designed to exchange practices, debate challenges, and learn from complications and outcomes.

What participants say about LUCCA
Feedback from interventional cardiologists and healthcareprofessionals who attended previous LUCCA meetings.
LUCCA is not a meeting. It's a forum, where we discuss on a peer-to-peer basis and where we learn from each other.
The LUCCA Meeting offers an exceptionally engaging and interactive platform—bringing together experts to share insights and advance the field of complex and calcified PCI.
Grateful to have attended such an outstanding congress on Complex PCI. The sessions were incredibly interactive, the live cases were truly impressive, and the level of discussion and learning was inspiring. It’s a privilege to be part of such a passionate community pushing the boundaries of interventional cardiology. Even more meaningful for me personally is how happy and honored I am to now be part of the faculty. Looking forward to contributing, learning, and continuing to grow together with colleagues and friends in this field

FAQs
Everything you need to know about LUCCA 6.0 — programme, faculty, venue, and registration.
What makes LUCCA unique?
LUCCA is a focused meeting for interventional cardiologists working on complex and calcified coronary lesions. Three days, live cases transmitted from Luzerner Kantonsspital, hands-on workshops, and direct exchange with international faculty — clinical practice, not commercial booths.
Who attends LUCCA?
Interventional cardiologists, fellows and cath-lab teams — from Switzerland and across Europe. The room stays deliberately focused: a working audience that discusses cases, not a trade-show crowd.
What live cases will I see?
Real coronary interventions performed at Luzerner Kantonsspital and transmitted into the lecture hall in real time — calcified lesions, drug-eluting balloons, and mechanical circulatory support for high-risk PCI. A moderated expert panel works through imaging, strategy and device choice with the operators as each case unfolds.
Are hands-on workshops included?
Yes. Alongside the lectures you work at the station yourself — an intravascular imaging masterclass (OCT and IVUS) plus focused workshops on CTO, DCB and complex PCI. Places are limited.
Is LUCCA accredited for CME credits?
Not yet. Accreditation for LUCCA 6.0 will be applied for once the programme has been submitted. Details on CME credits will follow.
Where does LUCCA take place?
In Lucerne, across two venues: the hands-on workshops at the KKL Lucerne on the lakefront, and the live cases and lectures at Luzerner Kantonsspital (LUKS), in the main lecture hall.
When does LUCCA 6.0 take place?
Thursday 29 April to Saturday 1 May 2027, at the KKL Lucerne and the Luzerner Kantonsspital (LUKS). The detailed schedule follows with the programme.
How do I register and what does it cost?
Registration for LUCCA 6.0 is not yet open. Details on registration and fees will be published soon. For questions, please contact FentEvent at info@fent-event.ch.
