DCB Academy has been hosted in a groundbreaking symposium at the premier European Congress on Drug-Eluting Balloon (DEB) Angioplasty in Rome, on January 30-31. This event will serve as a unique platform for the global interventional cardiology community to engage in an advanced and comprehensive exploration of drug-coated balloon technology for coronary interventions.
Featuring prominent thought leaders and key opinion leaders from around the world, the congress will showcase live case demonstrations, in-depth lectures, and dynamic discussions designed to elevate the scientific understanding and clinical application of DEB in the context of coronary artery disease. This congress represents an exceptional opportunity for both physicians and trainees to enhance their expertise and stay at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field.
