INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY 2015: 30 TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
In January 1984, by serendipity, Andreas Grüntzig and I found ourselves alone in Snowmass for
different business reasons. We took the occasion to ski together for two long and wonderful days.
On the ski lifts, we talked about many things, but mostly angioplasty, as PCI was called in those
days. It was from these discussions that an interventional cardiology meeting in Snowmass was born.
From the outset, the purposes of this meeting were:
> To explore ways to improve the still young technique, and to expand its reach.
> To partner with industry in these endeavors.
>To foster international cooperation and exchange of ideas, an extension of the teaching
principles that Grüntzig had initiated seven years earlier.
>To do all of this in a pleasant environment that encouraged camaraderie as opposed
to competition.
The first few meetings were quite small, consisting of didactic presentations and showing of edited
videotapes from our live demonstration courses in Miami. But these early meetings adhered closely to
our core objectives. It became clear that Snowmass was an excellent venue for the exchange of ideas
not only in the lecture hall, but also in social venues and on ski lifts. As the meeting grew in size and
stature, the European participation grew proportionately. This is how it was for 15 years.
In 2000, on the advice of Patrick Serruys, we switched to the international format that persists today.
It was at this time that we added participation from Japan and Korea. The international format
provided an opportunity to better focus on our core values, and to keep the course fresh with a
healthy turnover of young, previously undiscovered faculty and exposure to ideas and methodologies
from far off lands. The new format exposed attendees to cutting edge work performed both in and
outside the U.S. More importantly, with faculty from more than 25 countries on five continents the
audience gained a perspective of how differing socioeconomic factors alter the performance of PCI in
different cultures and different countries – usually achieving comparable results.
Finally, the international format fosters, albeit in a small way, behavior conducive to world peace. In
these turbulent times, academic and scientific exchanges may be useful in counteracting the rhetoric
and irresponsible actions of world leaders.
This year we will continue to passionately adhere to our mission while presenting an exciting didactic
program combined with a celebration of thirty wonderful years in Snowmass. We will look back to
see where we have been while exploring where we are going. As course director, I have had the honor
and great pleasure of interacting with so many brilliant and fascinating individuals that this interaction
by itself would have made it all worthwhile. During the meeting, I will introduce you to these people
and recognize their contributions. Please join us for a fascinating ride from the past to the future and
all that in between.

Without a doubt, TAVR is the most exciting advance in interventional cardiology in recent years.
Not only does the procedure work, it has been proven conclusively that it saves lives. Newer valves
and newer iterations of older valves have made the procedure easier, safer and available to a rapidly
expanding patient population. This year, we have devoted a major portion of our program to TAVR
with more than 30 talks from operators with a combined experience of thousands of cases. These
talks cover global experience, patient selection, techniques, avoidance and treatment of complications
and discussion of various valves both on the market and those in clinical evaluation. Included is a
seven talk mini-symposium on the Achilles heel of TAVR, neurological complications. The symposium
concludes with a discussion of modalities for TVT of the mitral valve.
A minor but important theme of the 2015 meeting is devoted to discussion of the meaning of
one or more negative studies of treatment modalities that physicians believe are effective, despite
a lack of 1A evidence. Talks in this genre start out with the title: “Is the Data Right and the Doctor
Wrong, or Vice Versa?”
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this symposium, participants should be able to:
> Better understand the meaning of negative studies.
> Gain a comprehensive picture of TAVR.
> Integrate advances in electrophysiology into their practice.
> Better manage complications of coronary and peripheral percutaneous interventions.
> Discuss the controversies surrounding the indication for coronary stents, efficacy, and complications.
>G
ain an international perspective of percutaneous interventions including the effect of a country’s
economics on how interventions are performed.
