The 2nd Canadian CTO Summit: Translating Science to the Clinic
Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Time: 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Location: Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
2075 Bayview Ave., Jenkin auditorium (TB 021)
Toronto, ON
The workshop will bring together opinion leaders both from research and from the clinical community to discuss the state-of-the-art in identifying:
- who will most benefit from revascularization;
- tissue characterization of pre-clinical and clinical chronic total occlusions (CTOs); and
- new imaging modalities and treatment strategies.
The event is open to clinicians, scientists and industry interested in moving this field forward.
