Lisbon Interventional Cardiology Course - Complex Hands-On PCI - 2nd Edition
23-M24.2
October 18th 2023 - October 20th 2023
COURSE COORDINATORS
Manuel de Sousa Almeida (MD, PhD) ,
Sílvio Leal (MD, PhD Student)
COURSE PRESENTATION
The progressive increase in access and complexity of percutaneous techniques for coronary diagnosis and intervention make its understanding central in the curriculum of the current cardiologist. This course seeks to present, in a dynamic and interactive way, a complete approach of current knowledge and practice in this area.
The course will be structured in two independent modules.
This module develops, with a theoretical support but predominantly practical character, the central themes of percutaneous coronary intervention, seeking to update and deepen the state-of-the-arts for operators in training as well as experienced operators.
