CSI Focus LAA 2025

CSI Focus LAA 2025 is organized by cme4u GmbH Congresses, Meetings and Education and will be held from Dec 05 - 06, 2025 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Frankfurt, Hessen, Germany.

Description:
CSI Focus LAA is a leading conference on stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation.

Our program provides a comprehensive overview of LAA closure, including imaging, transseptal and pericardial access, step-by-step cases, management of complications, live cases, and an overview of the most commonly used as well as of new and upcoming devices for LAA closure. We will also discuss atrial fibrillation ablation strategies like pulmonary vein ablation before, after or at the same time as LAA closure. Recent data suggests that ablation of the left atrial appendage may lead to increased success rate of AF ablation and there are new devices which combine LAA ablation and LAA closure. Live cases will also be a key part of the learning experience.

CSI 360° Hands-on training on LAA closure:
This two-day training program offers a hands-on learning experience for interventional cardiologists who are early implanters in LAA closure. CSI 360° is an independent program, designed by physicians for physicians and the training will be run by leading experts in the field.  Participants will benefit from the didactic sessions of the CSI Focus LAA conference in addition to intimate training sessions on every step of the procedure and the most commonly available devices.
