A Comprehensive Course on Percutaneous Atrial Septal Interventions: Advancing Multidisciplinary Patient Care
CS Medical, a leading healthcare company, is proud to sponsor an upcoming event focused on percutaneous atrial septal interventions. This theoretical and practical course aims to introduce interventional cardiologists and imaging specialists to the techniques of atrial septal closure. The event will highlight the secondary prevention of cryptogenic ischemic cerebrovascular events in patients with a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and the management of patients with atrial septal defects (ASD). By combining theoretical lectures, case presentations, live procedures, and hands-on tutorials, this course emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary evaluation in the management of these patients.
