In recent years, the technology of CTO PCI has evolved dramatically. Since the CTO Club is a meeting specialized in CTO PCI, we can share more specialized live demonstrations introducing a detailed knowledge of the CTO devices, and learn techniques, technologies, and strategies in this field.
The program includes CTO live demonstrations, the latest research findings, case presentations, and educational sessions by expert operators from Japan and abroad, and we sincerely hope that an active discussion will be held while sharing your valuable experiences and opinions. We also hope to build a new network through this meeting and to deepen future collaboration in clinical practice and research of CTO PCI.
The 25th CTO Club will be held on June 13th and 14th, 2025. We believe that your participation will be an opportunity for you to spend quality time and contribute to the further development of CTO PCI.
We look forward to seeing you in Nagoya.
