An anatomical heart ringed by the words Complications, Critical Decisions, Risk and Lessons

Access, safely

Vascular Access

Master radial, femoral, transcaval and axillary access, and its complications.

The greatest teacher, failure is.
We are what they grow beyond.

Seven ways a case goes wrong

Each one has an algorithm. Over two days we work through all of them, with the operators who have been there.

  • Access, safely

    Vascular Access

    Master radial, femoral, transcaval and axillary access, and its complications.

  • Structure & valve

    Structural Heart

    Manage the complications of today’s most demanding structural procedures.

  • Anticipate the trap

    Atherectomy Complications

    Anticipate and manage the pitfalls of rotational and orbital atherectomy.

  • Regain control

    Device Entrapment

    Free trapped wires, balloons and stents without losing hard-won ground.

  • Reverse the spiral

    Acute Closure

    Recognise and reverse abrupt vessel closure before it cascades into disaster.

  • Read it early

    Hemodynamic Collapse

    Recognise the shock spiral early and respond with a clear, shared algorithm.

  • Stop the bleed

    Coronary Perforation

    Wire across or not, coil and embolise with confidence to stop the bleeding.

The third edition

Complications are the part of this work nobody discusses in public. That is exactly why we do.

It is our privilege to welcome you to the third edition of the Asia Interventional Complications Course. Over two days at the Hyatt Regency Chennai, we come together around the moments that shape every operator, and the expertise that turns them into confident, decisive care.

Alongside faculty from across the world, we share the algorithms, the instincts and the systems that make great outcomes repeatable. One session is given over entirely to mental health and the psychology of improvement, because the operator is the second patient in every complication.

Bring your cases and your curiosity. You'll leave with sharper skills, greater confidence, and a network to grow with for the rest of your career.

Four reasons this is time well spent

Learn from the Masters

Insights from renowned global experts in interventional cardiology.

Hands-On Experience

Practical sessions and simulation that bring complex concepts to life.

Case-Based Learning
