DISCOVER THE REPLAY OF ISCAT 2024!
ISCAT Paris | October 16-18, 2024
EDITORIAL
The extremely dynamic field of Cardiac Electrophysiology is moving fast and so is ISCAT. Your dedicated EP meeting is transitioning to a European meeting with a renewed board of directors, now including EP leaders from 8 European countries, serving the ambition to become THE catheter ablation European meeting.
The 15th Symposium on Ablation Techniques will introduce this mutation, from October 16 to 18, 2024 at the Marriott Rive Gauche in Paris.
We do believe that this new orientation will further increase the success of this biannual event. The tighter connections to leading European groups will only increase the excellence of the scientific content, interactions, and curiosity.
We are entering in a new era for catheter ablation with the commercial availability of very promising and potentially revolutionizing electroporation. Atrial fibrillation ablation will likely be largely impacted by Pulsed Field Ablation and ISCAT will expose you to the latest safety/efficacy data from ongoing studies and pioneers. The advantages and limitations of this energy will be examined in depth and compared to gold-standard thermal energies. The still challenging persistent AF, particularly when long-standing will benefit from this more efficient energy source, but is the ablation scheme/strategy well defined?
Finally, Ventricular tachycardia/Fibrillations will be challenged during vivid sessions, leaving more room for discussion, and embellished with videos. These two and a half days will be an opportunity to listen to and meet international leaders in this field of expertise.
The interpretation sessions of on-board electrogram tracings and endocavitary explorations in the context of ablation will, as always, be led by RETAC, our well-known expert.
Finally, of course, we continue the now classic sessions reserved for rhythmologists in training and laboratory technicians.
You will certainly remember the previous ISCAT editions and we will be happy to see you or see you again in Paris during fall 2024.
