CSI AFRICA
2017
CATHETER INTERVENTIONS IN CONGENITAL, STRUCTURAL AND VALVAR HEART DISEASE
DECEMBER 1 – 2, 2017 | NAIROBI | KENYA
SAVE THE DATE
CSI Africa 2017 will take place on December 1 – 2, 2017 in Nairobi, Kenya. Please join us for an overview of catheter interventions
in congenital, structural and valvar heart disease in children and adults. CSI Africa will provide a forum for physicians from
Central Africa, with an opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from each other. Read more on the congress website.
THE PROGRAM
The program will include lectures, debates and recorded cases from local and international faculty and is designed to address
issues and topics specific to Central Africa. Topics will include:
• Paravalvar leak closure
• Left atrial apendage closure
• Pulmonary valve replacement
• Echo evaluation of ASDs and VSDs
• Coarctation stenting
• ASD closure
• VSD closure
• Transseptal puncture
• PDA closure
• Pulmonary valvuloplasty
• Mitral valvuloplasty
• How to develop structural, congenital
and valvar interventions in Africa
• Challenging cases, problems &
complications
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The meeting is designed for adult and pediatric interventional cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, anaesthetists, imaging
specialists & colleagues of other disciplines, such as nursing staff, who wish to know more about this field.
