II level Master in Structural Interventional Cardiology A.Y. 2024/25

The Master corresponds to a II level Specializing Master within the academic Italian system. Upon completion of the 12-months, and after the traineeship and final project dissertation, participants are awarded 60 ECTS.

Attendance in person is mandatory throughout the academic year.

The Master  consists of a part of frontal didactic activity, a consistent part of clinical-practical activities in the clinic and hospital ward, and concludes with the formulation, design, and writing of an interventional cardiology protocol with drafting of a clinical-experimental thesis.

There will also be periodic checks on progress in learning interventional techniques. They will be made through discussion of the revascularization strategy and of useful materials on selected cases. Checks will also be made on CT measurement for appropriate selection of valve prostheses in transcatheter valve procedures. The periodic reviews may result in an outcome expressed as a judgment of suitability and not as a numerical evaluation. Eventually, there might be a feedback.
