3rd European Transoesophageal Echocardiography Course on Congenital Heart Disease

3rd European Transoesophageal Echocardiography Course on Congenital Heart Disease is organized by University College London (UCL) and would be held during Feb 2 - 3, 2017 at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, London, England, United Kingdom. The target audience for this medical event are clinical staff working in the field of paediatric or adult congenital heart disease.

The two-day course will provide handson TOE simulator experience with particular focus on congenital lesions frequently encountered in clinical practice. This CME conference has been approved with 12 CME credits.

Objectives
• By the end of this course participants will have a good understanding of the physics involved in transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) and understand indications and limitations of TOE in children and adults with congenital heart disease.
• Side-by-side comparison of cardiac morphology and TOE will enable delegates to appreciate the complexity in congenital heart disease and how to apply this in clinical TOE practice.
• Delegates will gain an overview of current advances in TOE imaging modalities and new emerging roles for TOE in congenital heart disease.
• Participants will have learnt about the challenges in imaging complex patients through case-based discussions with experts in the field and will have gained further insight into TOE guided device closures of challenging cases with congenital heart disease.
• Delegates will gain confidence in operating TOE probes safely and succinctly under expert supervision using hands-on TOE simulator training sessions, which will prepare them for the clinical use of TOE in children and adults with congenital heart disease.
