Thank you very much for your continuous understanding and generous cooperation to CCT.
This year, CCT reaches its 14th year. As a result of increase in participants from overseas in addition to chief participants from Japan, we have grown as one of the biggest live courses in Asia, counting over 4,000 participants.
This is because of your tremendous help, and we would like to express our deepest appreciation.
The origin of this event goes back to the mid-1980s, the founding period of PTCA in Japan. Expansion of application by diffusing interventional therapeutics in order to demolish a stereotype at that time: There was a history of challenges by the believers of the treatment. We have been in action as CCT since 2001, following Nakanihon Intervention Conference via CCIC, and the journey to this point was not easy considering the historical background of that time, thus we have always been tackling issues that we believe are correct with enthusiasm.
Contribution to medical services by sending innovative treatment techniques is the mission of CCT, and we believe that live demonstration is the best method to implement this mission. The meaning of broadcasting live difficult CTO and complication cases ranges over various fields. What kind of strategies does the expert have? Which devices will be chosen? There are various required techniques as well. How does he deal with unexpected problems? Live demonstrations on the complication cases are where you could learn intervention from PCI beginners to experts.
We established the Peripheral course last year, and distributed EVT live case transmissions. Additionally, the Surgical course which was unable to hold last year will be back this year, and along with the Co-medical course, we will provide opportunities for everyone attending CCT to learn from their own standpoint. In live demonstrations, we would like to make the presentation on how to tackle with complication cases with the supreme techniques in which Japan takes pride. In hope of being connected to further development in the cardiovascular field, we would like you to experience the challenge of CCT by visiting Kobe in autumn.
