Ladies and gentlemen
Dear Colleagues,
As always, it is with great pleasure that we would like to invite you to participate in the 27th edition of the Warsaw Course on Cardiovascular Interventions (WCCI), which takes place under the auspices of the Association of Cardiovascular Interventions of the Polish Cardiac Society and in cooperation with EAPCI and EuroPCR. In order to make our Workshops more attractive, representatives of the Association of Intensive Cardiac Care of the Polish Cardiac Society, the Club 30 of the PCS and the Euro 4C EAPCI Group take part in the creation of the program. This year, WCCI is scheduled for April 24-26 in an on-site formula in the Airport Hotel Okecie in Warsaw.
This year, the main topics are: revascularization of coronary arteries with particular emphasis on multivessel coronary disease (with and without left coronary trunk involvement), the problem of coronary bifurcations and percutaneous treatment of structural heart diseases (including interventions on aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves). The program will include interesting sessions on invasive imaging and functional diagnostics. The program of the Workshops also includes sessions devoted to interventions on the carotid and peripheral arteries. As always, there will be sessions on the borderline of intensive cardiac therapy and invasive cardiology. Once again, we invite you to participate in such well-received mini-workshops: WAR-CHIP (devoted to comprehensive treatments of the highest risk) and WAR-CTO (intended for operators interested in training in recanalization of chronic coronary occlusions).
Traditionally, during the Workshops, live broadcasts from renowned centers in Poland and abroad are planned. There are also scheduled presentations in the „live-in-a box” format. As usual, the WCCI program will be complemented by satellite sessions of the Workshops sponsors.
We cordially invite you to register! Fees and regulations area vailable in the registration form.

PROFESSOR ROBERT JULIAN GIL, MD, PhD, FESC
Professor Robert Julian Gil, MD, Ph.D., a graduate of the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin has been the head of the Department of Invasive Cardiology of the Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration (MSWiA) in Warsaw, one of the most efficient centres of Interventional Cardiology in Poland since 2001. In 1997-2004 he was the Chair of the Invasive Cardiology Section (Working Group) of the Polish Cardiac Society, and a member of its Board (as a past president) for the next 3 years. Since 2001 he has been in the Expert Team handling accreditation in cardiology appointed by the Polish Minister of Health. Since 2002 he has been a Consultant of Healthcare for the Ministry of the Interior and Administration in the field of cardiology.
His scientific interests include mostly the evaluation of atherosclerotic plaque, coronary stenosis, diagnostics and treatment of complex lesions, including bifurcation lesions. He is also interested in the use of percutaneous revascularisation in acute coronary syndromes. For many years he has participated in international clinical studies evaluating medicines and devices supporting coronary angioplasty.
His achievements include over 200 publications in peer-reviewed journals, out of which more than 60 were published in foreign journals (IF close to 200). Moreover, he co-authored 30 chapters of books on interventional cardiology and more than 300 convention reports, out of which more than 100 were presented at prestigious international conventions on clinical electrophysiology and invasive cardiology. Since 2005 he has been a research fellow in the Mossakowski Medical Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. In June 2013 he was appointed as professor in that Institution.
He initiated annual National Workshops on Interventional Cardiology, which after 5 editions in Szczecin were moved to Warsaw as the Warsaw Course on Cardiovascular Interventions. Their 19th edition is planned for April 2015.
He co-authored the guidelines of the Invasive Cardiology Section of the Polish Cardiac Society concerning Invasive Cardiology.
Since 2007 he has been a member of the exclusive European Bifurcation Club handling the questions of diagnostics and treatment of bifurcation lesions.
Since 1994 he has been a scientific reviewer of monthly Kardiologia Polska, since 1998 – Folia Cardiologica (currently Cardiology Journal), and since 2000 – Polski Przegląd Kardiologiczny. In all of these magazines he is a member of Editorial Boards, and in Kardiologia Polska was the editor of column “Angiogram of the month”. Since 2009 he has regularly reviewed papers sent by to the American Journal of Cardiology, EuroIntervention, Journal of Interventional Cardiology and Circulation.
In 1999 he was appointed as the editor-in-chief of the Invasive Cardiology journal and is performing these functions up till today.
Since 1999 he has been active in the Working Group on coronary circulation of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), which in September 2006 transformed into the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI). In 2009 he was assigned to its Grant Committee. In June 2000 he was awarded a prestigious title of the Fellow of European Society of Cardiology. Since 2001 he has been regularly invited to actively participate (Faculty member) in such prestigious Congresses and Workshops of Interventional Cardiology as: EuroPCR, TCT, TCT Russia, ICI in Tel Aviv, European Bifurcation Club meetings and many national congresses.
