WELCOME TO CICT

CICT would like to welcome you in California on July 26-27,2024 to the 17th Congress on Controversies in Interventional Cardiovascular Therapy.

CICT aims to provide an educational platform based on integration of patient-centered decision-making and the evidence-base in the field of Interventional Cardiovascular Medicine. The conference content is focused on case presentations and open debate format with input from the faculty and attendees. The two-day program will address complex cardiovascular interventional topics that still present a challenge to the clinician with respect to choosing the appropriate therapy and using the optimal technique to ensure the safety and efficacy of the procedure. Our faculty will include key opinion leaders in the field, and we will provide opportunities for meaningful discussions throughout the meeting.

For the first time, CICT congress will run in conjunction with a fellows workshop organized in collaboration with NorthWell. The program is aimed at 1st-year interventional fellows and 3rd-year general cardiology fellows who are interested in interventional cardiology. The workshop will have a unique hands-on approach. Fellows will be guided by leading experts in the field in clinical, technical and conceptual aspects of contemporary basic and advanced interventional cardiology practice.

The conference is being planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of CMEsolutions and cme4u. CME Credit will be available – we anticipate 24 total credits and will confirm once the accreditation process is completed.

We look forward to having another inspiring conference with you by our side!

Yours sincerely,

Issam Moussa
