WELCOME TO csi america

Catheter interventions in congenital, structural and valvular heart diseases and heart failure

Dear Colleagues,

It was a great pleasure to welcome you to CSI America 2023 - the 5th edition of CSI in the USA, taking place at AdventHealth Nicholson Center, a medical research and training facility in Orlando, Florida. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this meeting with their work! Don't forget to view our on-demand section from the conference here.

The main scientific program of CSI America provided an update on the latest trials, studies, new devices, techniques and hot topics in the field with a successful special highlight - a cardiac catheterization laboratory experience on live animals where attendees performed interventional procedures on swine while learning from world class faculty. We were also pleased to offer the chance for presenters and audience to enjoy the Cathlab cafe and E-poster sessions. As always it was filled with inspiring discussions in informal setting.

We are passionate about improving the lives of patients with cardiovascular disease by creating platforms for exchanging knowledge both in-person and virtually.

We look forward to meeting you again in the USA or our other upcoming conferences!

Yours sincerely,

Zahid Amin, Stefan Bertog, Issam Moussa, Horst Sievert, Sir Shakeel A. Qureshi

(On behalf of the board of directors)
