Overview

In this session, 'Transcatheter Interventions Online 2020 - Complete Higher Risk Indicated Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: CTO Live Cases', cases from Leipzig Heart Center, DE, and Erasmus Medical Center, NL demonstrate the latest approaches in CTO, with an expert panel providing comment and insight.

 

The overall programme, Transcatheter Interventions Online 2020, aims to educate interventionalists and allied healthcare professionals on the practical implications of the latest clinical data, device selection, and procedural strategies impacting optimum patient care. To further illustrate this, the event will feature a number of practical demonstrations in the form of live cases broadcast from cardiovascular centers of excellence globally, interspersed with presentations and debate sessions.
