Thank you for reading this message again this year. I am Yusuke Miyashita from Nagano Red Cross Hospital / Shinshu University Hospital, and I have been appointed as the CCT2026 Representative Peripheral Course Director.

The ongoing conflicts sparked by the two major powers continue to have an adverse impact on the field of interventional medicine worldwide. However, it is precisely in times like these that CCT Peripheral strives to remain a venue that provides inspiration and strength to all interventionalists. The CCT Peripheral Course Directors and Program Committee are developing plans fueled by passion, knowledge, and experience, and we promise that CCT2026 Peripheral will once again be the premier venue in Japan for the highest-quality peripheral interventions.

The history of CCT is the history of high-quality interventional medicine in Japan. We invite you to join us in Kobe to experience and be inspired by our Live Case Transmissions, which honor this legacy while introducing new innovations.
