February 22nd & 23rd, 2025

Welcome to the Annual International TRanscatheter Intervention COurse (TRICO)

– a groundbreaking event hosted by The Apex Heart Institute in Ahmedabad!

With a legacy spanning 18 years, TRICO has earned its reputation as an unparalleled educational experience. Our journey of innovation began when real-time transmissions from our institute to the auditorium unveiled the intricacies of the most complex Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCIs).

Join us over two transformative days, where more than 400 interventional cardiologists from across the globe converge. Immerse yourself in an intensive course that boasts real-time demonstrations and enriching didactics. Our international guest faculty will guide you through the pivotal spectrum of interventional cardiology, providing insights that shape the future of the field. Transradial interventions have firmly taken center stage, embraced by nearly every interventional cardiologist.

This year’s TRICO agenda encompasses coronary, peripheral, and structural interventions. Beyond unraveling the nuances of the transradial approach, TRICO will delve into the utility of cutting-edge technologies including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), Resting Full-cycle Ratio (RFR), Rotational Atherectomy, Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL), Impella-supported PCI, and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR).

It’s our honor to announce the esteemed participation of Dr. Shigeru Saito from Japan and Dr. Samir Pancholy from the U.S.A. These luminaries will stand alongside Dr. Sanjay Shah and Dr. Tejas Patel as Course Directors, collectively guiding TRICO towards new frontiers of excellence.

Prepare to embark on a journey of discovery, innovation, and collaboration at TRICO – where the future of interventional cardiology comes to life.
