III Symposium – December 5th and 6th 2003
The most complex cases of angioplasty, special care in diabetic
patients and the so polemic (by that time) use of pharmacology
stents were some of the themes discussed on the III, on the International
Symposium of Invasive Cardiology for Practitioners December 5th
and 6th 2003.
Many live cases were presented, including a multivessel coronary
intervention in a diabetic patient.
Highlights for the participation of the faculties: Eulógio
Garcia, Spain; Ivan de Schreder, Belgium and Jonathan Tobis, USA.
This edition of the symposium also marked the opening of Francisco
Constantino Foundation, created to give assistance to patients
that don’t have financial conditions to pay for the treatment
of cardiovascular disease; and also to actuate on education and
research areas. In 2004, the foundation also assumed the compromise
of organizing the symposium, with Hospital Cardiológico Costantini’s
support.
