Our practice-oriented workshop is created for cardiologists with little or no experience in interventional cardiology
During the interactive course, you will learn about coronary angioplasty, the angiographic projection of the stenosis, the right selection of catheters, even tips and tricks of wire techniques and catheter intervention.
Exercises are conducted using a Cathi computer-based simulation system and the newly developed pulsatile coronary model, CoroSim, in conjunction with a fully functional Siemens biplane flat detector angiography system, also a simulation system developed by Terumo company for transradial intervention learning will be available. In addition to the hands-on exercises, lectures are presented on topics such as radiation protection, complications and quality management.
Continuing Medical Education (CME) points will be accredited upon completion of the course.
The program takes place at the National University Hospital in Singapore and will not only promote valuable learning, but will leave you with positive memories.
We are looking forward to meeting you there!
