SIS 2009 Symposia

SIS 2009 Coronary Artery Disease Symposium
Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of
Coronary Artery Disease

Friday, June 5, 2009

SIS is proud to announce that, utilizing the Seattle Science Foundation's state-of-the-art Bioskill's Lab, we have the opportunity to make hands-on teaching methods an integral part of the SIS 2009 Coronary Artery Disease Symposium.

Utilizing cadaveric specimens attendees will have the opportunity to work with expert faculty who will assist them with:

  • hands-on anatomical review
  • imaging review (IVUS, CT Angio, MR, and Coronary Angio)
  • technological review (including stents, balloons, CTO guidewires, closure devices, and atherectomy devices)
  • updates and demonstrations on the advances in interventional and surgical technologies and techniques

Registration is available for physicians who specialize in interventional cardiology or conduct minimally invasive cardiac interventional procedures as a part of their practice. To maximize interaction between faculty and attendees, space is limited.
