We would like to announce the CCT2016 SHD will be held this autumn. This year, meeting will be planned on Thursday, October 20, 2016 at Kobe International Exhibition Hall in Kobe, Japan.

The only half-day course is focused on the live transmission from Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, U.S.A.. The theme of this live is focused on the procedure not only the transcatheter aortic valve implantation but also mitral clip or left appendage closure which are not clinically approved in Japan. During the live transmission, new technique, devices, and technologies will be introduced. We will have a great opportunity to share the experiences with skillful operators through the real time live session. In the spirit of sharing between interventional community members across cultural and geographical barriers, cooperation with other nations, especially with Asian countries, will also be emphasized.

We are looking forward to welcoming all of you to come to this exciting course.
