PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

As surgery and percutaneous coronary interventions move closer and closer together, the interventionalist of the future will treat the entire arterial tree - coronary, peripheral and cerebral.  New techniques and approaches, now being developed in Europe, South America and the Far East, as well as in major American centers, will soon be part of mainstream practice in America.  This worldwide cooperation shows that, as in other areas, interventional cardiology has become a global discipline.

The scientific program for the special 25th Anniversary celebration is currently being formulated to include an exceptional historical retrospective, as well as presentations on new, leading-edge techniques and technologies for coronary and endovascular intervention.  Check back often for updates on the detailed agenda, which will be posted right here.
