30th Annual Cardiovascular Interventions

30th Annual Cardiovascular Interventions is organized by Promedica International CME and will be held from Oct 29 - Nov 01, 2019 at Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, La Jolla, California, United States of America.

Target Audience:
This course is designed for interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, internists, NPs, PAs, nurses, cath lab technicians, perfusionists, registered cardiovascular invasive specialists, radiologic technologists, and those with a special interest in interventional cardiology. No experience in interventional cardiology is required, however a basic understanding of the field is recommended.

Program Description?:
Join us to celebrate 30 remarkable years of interesting and complicated state-of-the-art live case transmissions and expert faculty contributions as we continue to explore the exciting future of interventional cardiology!

The practice of medicine changes rapidly and the discipline of interventional cardiology changes dramatically each year. Changes in interventional cardiology directly impact patient care and require constant updates to physician knowledge and practices. The primary purpose of the “30th Annual Cardiovascular Interventions” symposium is to provide the practicing physician and cardiovascular care team with a concentrated exposure to new developments in interventional cardiology that will positively influence patient outcomes.

By attending this program, participants will learn the latest advances and debates in interventional cardiology. They will return to their practice environment armed with the latest evidence-based, practical information to improve patient care and outcomes.

Educational Objectives
After attending this activity, participants should be able to:
• Apply new technical approaches to specific lesion subsets such as bifurcation lesions, left main lesions, chronic total occlusions and saphenous vein graft disease
• Integrate the latest guidelines and practice improvements into the management of myocardial function
• Discuss new techniques under development for transcatheter cardiac valve repair and replacement
• Reduce common catheterization laboratory patient complications using new techniques and technologies
• Critique the latest evidence supporting new cardiac imaging modalities such as IVUS, OCT and FFR guided stent deployment
• Prescribe the appropriate antithrombotic therapies based on the latest data and guidelines
