CSI 2016
Catheter interventions in congenital, structural and valvular heart disease
June 22–25 | Frankfurt | Germany
New programme structure
CSI Frankfurt 2016, the leading conference on congenital,
structural and valvular heart interventions in children and
adults will take place on June 22–25, in Frankfurt, Germany.
We are preparing an exciting programme for you with lectures
from leading experts in the field from all over the world, hands-
on simulation training and an industry exhibition.
We always strive to improve the conference and have made
some radical changes to the programme structure this year in
response to attendees’ comments and feedback. Our live-case
sessions showing a wide range of cases from both the adult
and paediatric fields will take centre stage in our programme.
However, we will also introduce ‘focus live sessions’: sessions
with lectures and a live case dedicated to a particular topic.
This means we will have parallel sessions with live cases: the
main sessions, which will give a general overview and the
focus live sessions, which are aimed at those of you who want
to gain more in-depth knowledge about a particular topic.
The live sessions will alternate with lecture sessions in the
main hall as well as smaller symposiums, allowing us to have
fewer parallel sessions at lunch time and in the evenings. We
feel that this new structure will give you, the attendee, more
choice about what you will learn at CSI Frankfurt and a chance
to customise your learning experience.
D-HF
2–3 December 2016 | Paris | France
Heart failure is the next frontier in cardiovascular interventions.
We will be discussing new approaches to treating heart failure
in the context of the 2016 ESC clinical practice guidelines.
CSI Frankfurt
22–25 June 2016, | Frankfurt, | Germany
Our flagship conference on catheter therapy of congenital,
structural and valvular heart interventions aimed at adult and
paediatric interventional cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons,
anaesthesiologists, imaging specialists and any other specialty
involved in these procedures.
PICS-CSI ASIA
3–5 March 2016 | Dubai | UAE
Focused on practice in the Asia–Pacific region, this meeting
will give a comprehensive overview of major topics in catheter
therapy of congenital, structural and valvular heart disease.
