CCT2015 Peripheral Course Objectives

I would like to say a few words upon holding CCT2015 Peripheral.
CCT2015 Peripheral will be held at Kobe International Exhibition Hall and Portopia Hotel for 3 days from Thursday, October 29 to Saturday, October 31, 2015. Like last year, Kinzo Ueda, Hiroyoshi Yokoi, Shigeru Nakamura, Yusuke Miyashita, Yoshihisa Kinoshita, Hiroshi Ando and Keisuke Hirano are in charge as the Peripheral Course Directors. We are preparing a variety of programs such as live demonstrations, Luncheon Seminars, Fireside Sessions, Coffee Break Seminars, Case Competition, Poster Sessions, short lectures and so on.

As utility of Endovascular Therapy (EVT) as a technique of revascularization in peripheral vascular disease cases has been widely recognized, its application has also been stretched gradually. In addition, a variety of new devices is anticipated to be available in the scene of medical practice within 1 or 2 years’ time. In CCT2015 Peripheral, we would like to intensify a discussion regarding what kind of influence will be brought to daily practice by these devices. As EVT live demonstrations, broadcasts from Saiseikai Yokohama-City Eastern Hospital on October 30 and from Tokeidai Memorial Hospital on October 31 are planned. We sincerely hope that a large number of physicians would join CCT2015 Peripheral.
