Invitation

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to the 14th Bulgarian Bifurcation and Complex Coronary Interventions Course, scheduled to take place in person from January 24-26, 2025, at the Acibadem City Clinic Tokuda Hospital in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Participation is free, underscoring our dedication to the free and timely dissemination of knowledge.

This year’s Course will center on “From Head to Toe in Coronary Physiology,” offering an in-depth examination of the physiology of epicardial coronary arteries and microcirculation. The program will highlight the latest advancements and provide practical insights into coronary physiology, emphasizing the significant impact of these principles on clinical outcomes and patient care.

We are honored to have Dr. Bernard De Bruyne as our Honorary guest lecturer. Dr. De Bruyne’s groundbreaking contributions, particularly in the development and application of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), have transformed the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. His participation will undoubtedly highly enrich the scientific and pratctical value of the Course.

The scientific agenda will encompass a range of cutting-edge lectures, engaging debates, and live cases that hold significant clinical relevance. This course promises to be a comprehensive platform for learning, knowledge sharing, and cutting-edge science.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 14th Bulgarian Bifurcation and Complex Coronary Interventions Course.

Sincerely,
