Pre-Planning with Cardiac CT imaging for Congenital Heart Diseases Procedures

Learn how Cardiac CT Imaging can help enhance your EP practice. Dr. Yuri Blaauw an electrophysiologist from UMCG (University Hospital Medical Center Groningen) in the Netherlands will share his experience integrating CT imaging into his EP workflow to pre-plan procedures in patients with Congenital Heart Disease. Multiple case presentations will also highlight how the ADAS 3D platform complements his intra-procedure practice. The audience will be able to interact by asking questions during the case-based presentations. Learning Objectives: oRecognize the key steps to interpret and analyze Cardiac CT imaging into an EP practice oIdentify the benefits of using Cardiac CT imaging for the EP lab in Congenital Heart Disease procedures oDiscuss how pre-procedure CT imaging complements current intraprocedural electro-anatomical mapping in the EP lab Speaker Information: Yuri Blaauw is a cardiologist/electrophysiologist working at the University Medical Center Groningen. After obtaining his MD degree, he performed his PhD thesis in the pre-clinical lab of prof. Maurits A Allessie at the University of Maastricht. He was trained as cardiologist and electrophysiologist at Maastricht University Medical Center under the supervision of prof. dr. Harry JGM Crijns. In 2013, he moved to the department of Cardiology at the University Medical Center Groningen. Since 2017 he is head of the dept. of clinical electrophysiology. His clinical speciality is ablation of complex arrhythmias. His research focus is ablation of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardias.
