About CSI:

CSI Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the survival and life of patients with congenital, structural and valvular heart disease and heart failure. CSI has a 25-year track record of encouraging and promoting research and providing training initiatives and educational opportunities to doctors, technicians and nurses worldwide. Our Flagship conference will take place in Frankfurt, June 28 – July 1, 2023. The scientific program will feature parallel streams of congenital, structural and valvular topics along with live case transmissions performed by experienced operators from around the world. Leading experts in the field will provide an update on the latest trials, studies, new devices and techniques in the field. Our popular training village with hands-on workshops will add to the learning experience by providing valuable practical experience and step by step guidance through case-based discussions, simulation and demonstration of procedures. Applicants and attendees will have the chance to share and discuss their interesting cases in our cathlab café and e-poster sessions.
CSI offers a number of other educational opportunities in 2023 including a webinar program and conferences on heart disease interventions in Thailand and USA as well as focused workshops on LAA closure and Heart Failure in Germany in the second half of the year.
