Practical sessions
REGISTRATION CLOSED, PRACTICAL SESSION IS FULLY BOOKED.
Practical sessions associated with 20th Prague Workshop on Catheter Ablations with live demonstrations
1st April 2017, 3.00-6:00 pm
Venue:
Seminar room, Institute for Molecular genetics of the ASCR (www.img.cas.cz)
Videnska 1083,142 00 Prague 4, Czech Republic
Faculty:
Josef Kautzner, Robert Cihak, Petr Peichl, Dan Wichterle, Bashar Aldhoon (Prague), Yan Yao (Beijing)
MainFocus:
Practical aspects (tips and tricks) of catheter ablation of various supravent ricular arrhythmias and idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias, using case-based learning
Target Audience:
Physicians and associated professionals who are looking to perfect their procedure workflows in catheter ablation of a broad spectrum of arrhythmias
Program Objectives
- Provide a review of different strategies of catheter ablation in various supraventricular arrhythmias and idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias
- Demonstrate such strategies using selected case-reports
- Suggest safe strategies for transseptal puncture with and without the use of echocardiography
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Identify techniques to improve ablation success for supraventricular arrhythmias and idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias, including use of advanced imaging
- Learn safe strategies how to perform transseptal puncture
