1st Date: Wednesday, June 24th 2026 from 12pm to 3pm (Nice, France)
Building on the success of previous editions, the 3rd Workshop of the ML CTO Academy continues its commitment to advancing expertise in coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) treatment. The first session, taking place on June 24 in Nice, will be a fully hands-on, practice-driven experience designed to immerse participants in real-world CTO techniques.
This clinically oriented workshop is developed in a shared-sponsorship format, offering unique access to a wide range of devices across six structured hands-on stations. Participants will refine their technical skills, explore different tools and strategies, and gain practical insights essential for improving procedural outcomes.
2nd Date: Saturday, November 21st 2026 (Paris, France)
The second session, scheduled to take place in Paris in November 21st, will complement this hands-on experience with a combined theoretical and practical approach. Building on the foundations established in Nice, this session will provide deeper clinical insights, structured discussions, and advanced case-based learning, ensuring a comprehensive and progressive educational journey in CTO intervention.
