Boston Lead Management Symposium
THIS IS A VIRTUAL COURSE.
There is an emerging need for lead extractions given the increasing number of patients with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) implants. This has resulted in an increased need to train physicians on how to perform lead extraction procedures safely.
The Lead Management Symposium focuses on providing physician education on lead extraction through didactics, hands-on experience, and case presentations. This will be the first in-person conference taking place in the Northeastern U.S. while offering the option for live stream attendance for those unable to attend in person. The target audience includes cardiologists performing lead extractions, EP fellows-in-training, and health care professionals taking care of patients with CIEDs.
