Dear Friends and Colleagues, It is my pleasure to announce the 10 th Interna- tional Workshop on Interventional Pediatric and Adult Congenital Cardiology, that will take place in Milan, from March 19 th to March 21 st , 2015. For this edition, our Workshop will be held at Crowne Plaza Linate, near San Donato Hospital, repeating the successful formula of past editions: all participants and speakers will be accommo- dated into the congress venue to keep everyone together and make relationships and exchanges easier. The aim of the meeting is to update meet- ing participants on the most important and inno- vative interventional procedures for the treatment of congenital and structural heart disease from fetus to adulthood. For the second edition, AEPC will organize lunch sessions specifically dedicated to young investigators during the three days of the workshop, these have been so well received that they have become part of the official pro- gram outline, as well as a pre-course on March 18 th at San Donato Hospital , improving a fruitful cooperation which is growing bigger and bigger over the years. Our faculty will be, as usual, well-known and international in order to guarantee a top level scientific program: lectures, lunch symposia, interactive sessions, satellite transmissions of live cases from well-known centers in Europe and Italy. An ongoing technical exhibition and a poster session will complete the panorama. I’m looking forward to meeting you in Milan once again!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce the 10th Interna-tional Workshop on Interventional Pediatric and Adult Congenital Cardiology, that will take place in Milan, from March 19th to March 21st, 2015.

For this edition, our Workshop will be held at Crowne Plaza Linate, near San Donato Hospital, repeating the successful formula of past editions: all participants and speakers will be accommo-dated into the congress venue to keep everyone together and make relationships and exchanges easier. The aim of the meeting is to update meet-ing participants on the most important and inno-vative interventional procedures for the treatment of congenital and structural heart disease from fetus to adulthood.

For the second edition, AEPC will organize lunch sessions specifically dedicated to young investigators during the three days of the workshop, these have been so well received that they have become part of the official pro-gram outline, as well as a pre-course on March 18th at San Donato Hospital, improving a fruitful cooperation which is growing bigger and bigger over the years.

Our faculty will be, as usual, well-known and international in order to guarantee a top level scientific program:

• lectures, • lunch symposia,• interactive sessions, • satellite transmissions of live cases

from well-known centers in Europe and Italy.

An ongoing technical exhibition and a poster session will complete the panorama.

I’m looking forward to meeting you in Milan once again!
