INTERVENTIONAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, A NEW SUBSPECIALITY
Do you know which echo technique is best for a particular intervenional procedure? Which ASDs can
be closed by catheter techniques and which need surgical repair? How does an Amplatzer occluder look on echocardiography
in comparison with a Helex, a CardioSEAL or a Premere occluder? How about intra-tunnel PFO closure devices? How do you evaluate
a patient with a muscular or perimembraneous VSD? Do you really know what your interventional colleague wants to know during his
procedure? How do you guide mitral valve repair or a percutaneous or transapical aortic valve implantation in the
operating theatre or in the catheter lab?
If you can not answer all these questions, then this is the Congress for you!
iCi 2008 AHEAD OF CSI 2008
The iCi - Imaging in Cardiovascular Interventions - will be followed by CSI 2008, the largest European meeting on congenital
and structural heart interventions, featuring live transmission of basic and advanced interventional cardiac catheter procedures.
