CSI Focus Workshop
PFO CLOSURE
THURSday, june 23, 2022
This years CSI Focus PFO track will continue to support operators and institutions providing PFO closure by covering the evidence base, the contemporary guideline context, and practical tips and tricks during procedures with a range of devices. Highlights of the program this year include a debate on the "high risk" anatomy concept which is shaping some guideline positions. In addition, we will continue to use the step-by-step live case format for which we are known to transfer knowledge and experience from one cathlab to another.
