The 2nd Edition of the international Multi-level CTO Course was held in Nice (France) from June 29th to July 1st, 2017 at Palais de la Méditerranée, and brought together over 450 participants from 40 countries. Following the success of the 2016 first Edition, the main goal of this event was to bring together all passionate operators in one place: from beginners to experts in a climate of openness and congeniality. This conference, with simultaneous translation in English and French, was organized on 3 days modules:
Each module included live cases performed by national and international experienced operators, with associated didactic lectures and interactive discussions, related to the topics covered during sessions.
