With the kind participation of pioneers:

- Hakim Benamer, Hôpital Européen La Roseraie, Aubervilliers

- Benjamin Faurie, Groupe Hospitalier Mutualiste, Grenoble

- Yves Louvard, ICPS, Massy

Incathlab launches its educational series dedicated to coronary interventions using the transradial approach! Attend the first live web symposium that will open the series on September 1st and 2nd.

Dr Yves Louvard and Dr Hakim Benamer, who stand as pioneers in the field, will join Dr Benjamin Faurie's team to present and explain every step of coronary angiograms and interventions, through live demonstrations on simple and more advanced cases.

The transradial approach is a good option for patients' care, and may become the default access for coronary angiography and intervention in the next few years. However, its increasing role will depend on several factors, such as the operators' experience, the management of the costs, results from randomized studies, the improvements of a dedicated equipment and, of course, patients' decision.

Your patients and your practice deserve the highest level of state-of-the-art expertise.

Save the date now, and join this premium symposium.
