In its 13th year, CICT continues to provide a unique platform for case-based learning and lively debate of the most controversial topics in interventional cardiology by world-class experts. CICT 2019 conference content is designed with the aim to move away from a traditional conference format and to focus on interactive discussions fostering direct exchange betwen attendees, faculty and industry through case presentations and open debate forma. The conference will address complex cardiovascular interventional topics that still present a challenge to the clinician with respect to choosing the appropriate therapy (surgery vs. catheter-based therapy) and with respect to using optimal technique to ensure the safety and efficacy of the procedure.
