Dear Colleagues,

The Pediatric and Adult Interventional Cardiac Symposium 2014 – PICS~AICS 2014 will be held at the Marriott Chicago Downtown Hotel, from June 7th-10th, 2014. We hope to build on some of the successes of the last year’s meet-ing in Miami with an expansion of the taped case sessions, along with the hands-on demon-strations that were so popular last year. We have endeavored to ensure the meeting contin-ues to support open dialogue as well as visual learning, along with updates from all the rele-vant trials and societies, with real opportunities for networking and sharing global clinical and research experience. We will continue to pro-vide a professional, but relaxed atmosphere to support this fantastic learning opportunity with social gatherings to ensure friends can meet and enjoy catching up.

The live cases remain the focal point of the meeting this year. Although these have come under increased scrutiny, PICS~AICS is com-mitted to supporting the immense learning op-portunity this platform provides. Live cases will be beamed from multiple international venues

with experienced operators that will demonstrate the latest in medical device technology using approved and investigational devices/valves/stents, etc. The live cases this year will be transmitted live via satellite from Córdoba, Ri-yadh, Chicago, Columbus, Denver, London and Los Angeles.

This year’s meeting will begin on Saturday, June 7th with an “Interventional Platform” session. This will include practical perspectives from interven-tional radiologists as well as interventional neuro-surgeons ensuring that we learn from each other’s broader experiences. There will be a “Tips and Tricks” session with hands-on demon-strations from international experts on how to work with wires, stents, devices and sheaths as well as valves. This will be followed by an interac-tive taped case session with four cases for dis-cussion. This year we have ensured that the oral abstract sessions are not competing with one another so that the true scientific endeavors of our colleagues are given the platform they de-serve.

We are also providing a separate session on June 7th focused entirely on Imaging for Struc-tural Heart Disease. This field is growing expo-nentially and the contribution of imaging to ensuring optimal outcomes through appropriate patient selection for intra-procedural guidance

will be will be explored under the leadership of Course Director, Dr. Roberto Lang.

On Sunday, June 8th, following staggered live case demonstrations in the morning, there will be a session on Complications of Congenital Catheterization followed by a session focusing on Great Debate topics. There will be further breakout sessions for nurses and technologists and younger interventionalists who are establishing their practice, as well as Aortic and Mitral Valve Therapies, Left Atrial Appendage Occlu-sion and Complex Structural Interventions and a continuation of the special breakout for our Spanish-speaking attendees. Finally, “My Nightmare Case in the Cath Lab” will take place on Tuesday 10th, and again the audience will choose the most deserved case. This will be followed by a final session on Clinical Case Perspectives, where a team of experts will comment on a range of real-life clinical scenarios with input from the attendees.

Poster Abstracts will be displayed throughout the meeting. We will con-tinue to support younger interventionalists with the Young Leadership Program at PICS with the winner receiving faculty status and involve-ment in the meeting. We also wish to recognize those committed to re-search with The Charles S. Kleinman, MD Award in memory of our dear friend, Dr. Charlie Kleinman, who was so close to the PICS family. The winner will receive a $5,000 grant towards their research endeavor.

We look forward to welcoming you to Chicago this summer! Your participation is what makes the meeting the success that it is and we look forward to learning with and from you.

Cardiovascular Imaging Symposium for Structural Heart Disease

ANNOUNCING THE FIRST

The Melody® TPV o� ers children and adults a revolutionary option for managing valve conduit failure without open heart surgery.

Just one more way Medtronic is committed to providing innovative therapies for the lifetime management of patients with congenital heart disease.

Innovating for life.

Melody® Transcatheter Pulmonary ValveEnsemble® Transcatheter Valve Delivery SystemIndications: The Melody TPV is indicated for use in a dysfunctional Right Ventricular out� ow Tract (RVOT) conduit (≥16mm in diameter when originally implanted) that is either regurgitant (≥ moderate) or stenotic (mean RVOT gradient ≥ 35 mm Hg)Contraindications: None known.Warnings/Precautions/Side E� ects:• DO NOT implant in the aortic or mitral position. • DO NOT use if patient’s anatomy precludes

introduction of the valve, if the venous anatomy cannot accommodate a 22-Fr size introducer, or if there is signi� cant obstruction of the central veins.

• DO NOT use if there are clinical or biological signs of infection including active endocarditis.

• Assessment of the coronary artery anatomy for the risk of coronary artery compression should be performed in all patients prior to deployment of the TPV.

• To minimize the risk of conduit rupture, do not use a balloon with a diameter greater than 110% of the nominal diameter (original implant size) of the conduit for pre-dilation of the intended site of deployment, or for deployment of the TPV.

• The potential for stent fracture should be considered in all patients who undergo TPV placement. Radiographic assessment of the stent with chest radiography or � uoroscopy should be included in the routine postoperative evaluation of patients who receive a TPV.

• If a stent fracture is detected, continued monitoring of the stent should be performed in conjunction with clinically appropriate hemodynamic assessment. In patients with stent fracture and signi� cant associated RVOT obstruction or regurgitation, reintervention should be considered in accordance with usual clinical practice.

Potential procedural complications that may result from implantation of the Melody device include: rupture of the RVOT conduit, compression of a coronary artery, perforation of a major blood vessel, embolization or migration of the device, perforation of a heart chamber, arrhythmias, allergic reaction to contrast media, cerebrovascular events (TIA, CVA), infection/sepsis, fever, hematoma, radiation-induced erythema, and pain at the catheterization site.Potential device-related adverse events that may occur following device implantation include: stent fracture resulting in recurrent obstruction, endocarditis, embolization or migration of the device, valvular dysfunction (stenosis or regurgitation), paravalvular leak, valvular thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism, and hemolysis.For additional information, please refer to the Instructions for Use provided with the product or call Medtronic at 1-800-328-2518 and/or consult Medtronic’s website at www.medtronic.com.

Humanitarian Device. Authorized by Federal law (USA) for use in patients with a regurgitant or stenotic Right Ventricular Out� ow Tract (RVOT) conduit (≥16mm in diameter when originally implanted). The e� ectiveness of this system for this use has not been demonstrated.

The 2014 PICS Award will be given on Sunday, June 8th, 2014. The Committee (Mike Tynan, Charles Mullins, Shak Qureshi and Lee Benson) chose this year someone special who dedicated his/her life to medicine and interventional therapies.

What distinguishes the PICS Award from other awards, is the amount of work that goes in choosing the winner, then in contacting their family members without their own knowledge to collect their photos and memorabilia, and the element of surprise. Please join us in Chicago and share the joy with the winner!

1ST ANNUAL MEETINGJUNE 5-6, 2014; CHICAGO IL USAhttp://fetalcardiacsymposium.com

BASIC AND ADVANCED FETAL CARDIOLOGY SYMPOSIUM &

WORKSHOP 2014

This two-day symposium will discuss various concepts and com-mon congenital heart disease malformations encountered in the fetus with emphasis on imaging and practical tips for diagnosis. In particular, it will include sessions focusing on the following areas:

1. Fetal cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology2. Latest guidelines in prenatal screening and red flags in the

diagnosis of fetal congenital heart disease3. Comprehensive live demonstration on performing a fetal
