CHICAGO 2014

June 7th-10th, 2014 Marriott Chicago Downtown

Chicago, IL

WELCOME TO PICS~AICS

Dear Colleagues,

The Pediatric and Adult Interventional Cardiac Symposium 2014 (PICS~AICS 2014) will be held at the Marriott Chicago Downtown Hotel, from June 7th-10th, 2014. This year we hope to expand on some of the successes of last year’s meeting in Miami with the expansion of taped case sessions, and an increase in hands-on demonstrations, which were both so popular last year. We have endeavored to ensure the meeting continues to: support open dialogue as well as visual learning, provide updates from all the relevant trials and societies, and further enhance opportunities for networking, and sharing global clinical and research experience. We will continue to provide a professional, but relaxed atmosphere to support this fantastic learning opportunity, with social gatherings to ensure friends can meet and enjoy catching up.

The live cases remain the focal point of the meeting this year. Although these have come under increased scrutiny, PICS~AICS is committed to supporting the immense learning opportunity this platform provides. Live cases will be beamed from multiple international venues with experienced operators that will demonstrate the latest in medical device technology, using approved and investigational devices/valves/stents, etc. The live cases this year will be transmitted live via satellite from Córdoba, Riyadh, Chicago, Columbus, Denver, London and Los Angeles.

This year’s meeting will begin on Saturday, June 7th with an “Interventional Platform” session. This session will include practical perspectives from interventional radiologists, as well as interventional neurosurgeons, ensuring that we learn from each other’s broader experiences. There will be a “Tips and Tricks” session with practical demonstrations from international experts on how to work with wires, stents, devices and sheaths and valves. An interactive taped case session with four cases for discussion will follow the Interventional Platform. This year we have ensured that the oral abstract sessions are not competing with one another so that the true scientific endeavors of our colleagues are given the platform they deserve.

This year we are also providing a separate session on June 7th

focused entirely on “Imaging for Structural Heart Disease.” This field is growing exponentially and the contribution of imaging to ensuring optimal outcomes through appropriate patient selection intra-procedural guidance will be stressed under the guidance of Course Director, Dr. Roberto Lang.

On Sunday, June 8th, following staggered live case demonstrations in the morning, there will be a session on “Complications of Congenital Catheterization,” followed by a session focusing on Great Debate topics. There will be further breakout sessions for nurses and technologists, and younger interventionalists who are establishing their practice, as well as “Aortic and Mitral Valve Therapies” and “Complex Structural Interventions,” and a continuation of the special breakout for our Spanish speaking attendees. Finally, “My Nightmare Case in the Cath Lab” will take place on Tuesday, the 10th, and, again the audience will choose the most deserved case. This will be followed by a final

PICS~AICS

session on “Clinical Case Perspectives,” where a team of experts will comment on a range of real-life clinical scenarios, with input from the attendees.

Poster Abstracts will be displayed throughout the meeting. We will continue to support younger interventionalists at PICS with the “Young Leadership Program,” whereby the winner is accorded faculty status and involvement in the meeting. We also wish to recognize those committed to research with The Charles S. Kleinman, MD, Scientific Scholarship Award in memory of our dear friend Dr. Charlie Kleinman who was so close to the PICS family. The winner will receive a $5,000 grant towards their research endeavor.

We look forward to welcoming you to Chicago. Your participation is what makes the meeting the success that it is and we look forward to learning with and from you. While at the meeting, visit the Reception Desk, or go to www.picsymposium.com for changes and up-to-date information. This year there is also a mobile app available.
