This Masterclass, led by prominent interventional cardiologist and trialist Dr. Deepak L. Bhatt, will explore the latest advances in interventional cardiology. Multidisciplinary experts will present on comprehensive interventional cardiology topics, including pre-procedural evaluation, pharmacological aspects, coronary intervention, peripheral intervention, structural intervention, and more. Each section will include patient cases and expert panel discussion, which will aim to provide practical approaches to patient management and interpret the latest advances to patient care. Do not miss your opportunity to learn from and interact with the experts!
