Practical sessions
Practical sessions associated with 24th edition of Prague Workshop on Catheter Ablations with live demonstrations, newly PRAGUE-RHYTHM 2022
Saturday, April 23, 2022
Time: 13:00–18:00
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, Jana Hašková, Josef Kautzner, Petr Peichl, Predrag Stojadinovic, Peter Štiavnicky, Dan Wichterle
Main Focus:
Practical aspects (tips and tricks) of catheter ablation of various supraventricular arrhythmias and idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias, using case-based learning
Safety of catheter ablation
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 and pericardial puncture
- Discuss safety issues and how to be prepared to handle the crisis
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 or pericardial puncture
- Understand complications of catheter ablation and how to prevent or treat them
