Following the great experience with the two editions of the Romanian CTO Workshop, we are delighted to announce that our fruitful and long lasting collaboration with our Hungarian CTO peers will finally materialize in the shape of the Romanian & Hungarian CTO Workshop, taking place on 6th and 7th of December 2024, in Oradea.

The interest in CTO PCI has seen a tremendous surge all over the world, with numerous expert meetings and courses. This two-day workshop wants to be an interactive, hands-on course, set in a familiar and friendly ambiance. Upon reviewing the basics, tips & tricks and complex techniques in the first two editions, we plan on further developing our skills during the third edition of the workshop. The hope is to further coagulate the operators interested in CTO PCI and, from this starting point, to build up a community like the ones existing in other countries. This endeavor is meant to be an inclusive, not an exclusivist one. We are convinced that, by sharing our experience and with the help of our international faculty’s knowledge, we can make this workshop memorable and, of course, fun.

This interactive and educational course includes:

• 6 Live Cases transmitted from within our cath labs in Oradea, and performed by teams of 2 Romanian operators and one international proctor.
• 3 Live Cases transmitted from Debrecen and performed by teams of two Hungarian operators and one international proctor.
• Live audience discussion about the strategies employed during the 9 live cases.
• CTO case presentations with emphasis on learning different skills.
• Structured discussions of recorded cases: „my most challenging CTO case”.
• Hands-on workshops (IVUS, Coils, guidewires, microcatheters).
• Industry exhibition.

In the hope that you will save the dates on your calendar, we are eager to welcome you to beautiful Oradea!
