AEPC Advanced Training Course in Catheter Interventions

Dear AEPC Junior Members,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the AEPC Advanced Training Course in Catheter Interventions, which will be held in the beautiful city of Lund, Sweden, from 11-12^th of November 2024.

This year, the course will deal with transcatheter treatment in complex congenital heart lesions with particular emphasis on how to best plan and guide transcatheter interventions. The course is designed to accommodate up to 25 fellows who have at least one year of interventional training. The course curriculum will offer insights into advanced techniques, strategies, and new devices/technologies to achieve the best interventional outcome. Challenging cases, complications, and successes will be presented by attendees and discussed with the faculty in a very informal atmosphere, thus enabling effective interaction and networking with experts in the field.

All course attendees will have the opportunity to attend, at no charge, the 4^th Interventional Conference on Imaging in Congenital Heart Interventions (with focus on left sided obstructions), which will be held on November 13 at the Skåne University Hospital in Lund.

We hope you will join us and look forward to seeing you in Lund in November!

Best wishes

Petru Liuba, Course Director
