The annual International TRanscatheter Intervention COurse (TRICO) run by The Apex Heart Institute in Ahmadabad is considered as one of the ‘ground breaking’ course in its 16 year history after a series of live transmissions from the institute to the auditorium demonstrated the most complex PCIs and its intricacies.

More than 400 interventional cardiologists from all over the world gather over two days to attend an intense course packed with live demonstrations and didactics delivered by international guest faculty that cover the most important spectrum of interventional cardiology.

Transradial interventions are already in the mainstream and practically every interventional cardiologist is aware, and most have already started putting them into practice. This year’s TRICO includes coronary, peripheral interventions and structural. Apart from discussing and demonstrating the intricacies of transradial approach, TRICO will also discuss and demonstrate the utility of OCT, IVUS, FFR, RFR, rotational atherectomy, IVL, Impella supported PCI and TAVR.

We are delighted that Dr. Shigeru Saito of Japan and Dr. Samir Pancholy of U.S.A. have consented to join Dr. Sanjay Shah and Dr. Tejas Patel as Course Directors.
