Greeting

My name is Kenya Nasu, and as of July 1, 2025, I have been appointed to the Board Chairperson of the Complex Coronary Therapeutics (CCT), a general incorporated association.

CCT traces its origins back to "Osaka Live" in 1992 and has since evolved through "Chuo Japan Live" and "CCIC" to become what is now known as CCT, effective since 2001. The founding members—Dr. Suzuki, Dr. Tamai, and Dr. Katoh—have devoted extraordinary passion, profound knowledge, and extensive experience to the establishment and advancement of Complex PCI since the early days of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Japan. As a result of their unwavering efforts, CCT has established an unshakable reputation both domestically and internationally as a true live demonstration platform that showcases advanced Complex PCI procedures in real time. As a result of their efforts, CCT has established an unshakable position as a true live demonstration platform, showcasing fully accomplished Complex PCI procedures in real-time.

Since joining the CCT Coronary Course Directors in 2014, I have had the privilege of learning from these pioneering mentors. Through my experiences as a live demonstration operator at CCT, I have further honed my skills and deepened my expertise as an interventionalist. I believe that our mission, as those who inherit the legacy of CCT, is not to merely imitate others but to innovate Coronary Intervention through original thinking and a broad perspective.

I am fully committed to devoting all my efforts to enhancing the global presence of Japanese interventional cardiologists in the field of Complex PCI. At the same time, I will strive to build a sustainable foundation that ensures CCT remains a platform where the next generation of Japanese operators can continue to flourish.

During my two-year term, I will continue to pursue progress with unwavering dedication, guided by the belief that "雲外蒼天: The blue sky lies beyond the clouds," and with a steadfast spirit of "万里一空: One path, one goal."

We sincerely invite you to continue your support and enthusiasm as CCT enters this exciting new chapter.
