CSI Asia-Pacific 2019

CSI Asia-Pacific is organized by CSI Foundation and will be held from Feb 22 - 24, 2019 at Grand Hyatt Guangzhou, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

Conference Description:
The congress will give a comprehensive overview of major topics in catheter therapy for congenital, structural and valvar heart disease and is designed for adult and pediatric interventional cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists, imaging specialists, nurses, technicians and any other medical specialty involved in these procedures. With a focus on cardiovascular innovation in the Asia-Pacific region this will also be an opportunity for engineers, device design specialists, inventors and investors to learn from and network with physicians.

Scientific sessions will be conducted by leading experts in the field with lectures from our international faculty about the latest procedures, techniques and devices. You will be able to learn from the most experienced operators who will be transmitting live from their centers with the opportunity to interact directly with them and the moderators. The congress will provide opportunities for valuable hands-on simulator training and of course we will welcome abstracts from those interested to present their work as part of our poster exhibition.
