Overview

The management of patients with cardiovascular disease is continuously progressing, emphasized by advances in devices and surgical techniques. Guidelines, research, and clinical trials continually expand the indications related to managing decisions and treatment of cardiovascular disease. These advances have altered the clinical practice context for approaching diagnosis and treatment.

This program is designed to bring together cardiologists, surgeons, and other healthcare providers to provide updates on the latest transcatheter approaches of cardiovascular disease. To that end, this conference will have a special focus on the contemporary developments in interventional cardiovascular medicine. It will emphasize case-based learning designed to engage learners in discussions, debates, and critical decision-making.
