Practical sessions

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), YanYao (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
