Practical sessions
Practical sessions associated with 21st Prague Workshop on Catheter Ablation with live demonstrations
21st April 2018, 12:00–6:00 pm
Venue:
Congress Centre, Institute for Molecular genetics of the ASCR (www.img.cas.cz)
Videnska 1083,142 00 Prague 4, Czech Republic
Faculty:
Robert Čihák, Josef Kautzner, Petr Peichl, Dan Wichterle (Prague), Andrey Ardashev (Moscow), 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
- Discuss such strategies using selected case-reports
- Demonstrate live cases of conventional ablation
- 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
