Enhance your knowledge

In a simulated learning environment
Our practice-oriented workshop is created for cardiologists with little or no experience in interventional cardiology.

During the interactive course, you will learn about coronary angioplasty, the angiographic projections of the stenosis,
the right selection of catheters, even tips and tricks of wire techniques and catheter intervention.

Exercises are conducted using a Cathi computer-based simulation system and the newly developed pulsatile coronary
model, CoroSim, in conjunction with a fully functional Siemens biplane flat detector angiography system. A newly
upgraded scenario based virtual simulation system developed by Terumo enables participants to refresh and experience
situational procedural sequences. A silicon vessel model using real interventional devices will enhance reflection of
knowledge transforming into acquired skills. In addition to the hands-on experiences, lectures are presented on topics
such as radiation protection, complications and quality management.

“In the clinical routine, there is often not enough time for precise teaching in the cath lab. During the
workshop, participants can take their time working through all functions of the radiographic device and
simulation models.”
