CCT2018

Closing address

I would like to deliver this message as the CCT2018 Representative Coronary Course Director.

From 2017, CCT has been holding up “Change” as the theme under a new organization led by Dr. Etsuo Tsuchikane, the chairman of the board of CCT Supervisory Directors.
In CCT2018, we have not only covered PCI for complex lesions which has been the main topic of CCT, but also enriched structural heart diseases session and collaboration session between societies from overseas in addition to a new attempt of live streaming of all PCI Live Case Transmissions. As confidentiality of medical treatment becomes a subject of discussion recently, CCT considers and practices live case treatments as the ultimate open medical treatment.

Thanks to your support, CCT2018 has recorded over 5,500 participants, the greatest number in CCT history. In addition to growing participants from overseas, the number of domestic doctors also increased even though there are many other live courses, and we believe it is a proof of support for our new challenges.
We consider sending new messages continuously is the unchanged CCT mission in the era when PCI treatment has reached its period of maturity.
We very much appreciate your continuous support to CCT in future.
