Aim of the CCT 2004 Peripheral

The peripheral vasculature, such as the legs, the neck and the kidneys, are the principal targets for catheter intervention after the coronary arteries.

With improvements in the quality of products and the accumulated experience of operators, even cases that until now could only be revascularized surgically, are increasingly indicated for IVR. Focusing on both diagnosis and treatment for peripheral artery disease, this meeting will offer expert comment from leaders in both Internal Medicine and Surgery, as well as turning the spotlight on current obstacles and future goals for the field.

The inclusion of a Live Demonstration at this year's CCT is further proof that the era of Peripheral Intervention has well and truly arrived.
