Preliminary scientific program

A high-impact scientific agenda for interventional cardiology in Latin America

SOLACI & SBHCI 2026 will bring together innovation, live cases, hands-on training, clinical debates, and the latest advances in coronary, structural, congenital, extracardiac intervention, and nursing.

A program designed to anticipate the future of the specialty

The scientific proposal of SOLACI & SBHCI 2026 combines high-level updates, case-based learning, clinical controversies, technological innovation, and intensive training spaces for professionals from across the region.

Main program highlights

A selection of the most relevant and attractive topics that will be part of the preliminary scientific agenda.

AI

Artificial intelligence and the cath lab of the future

Sessions on AI applied to decision-making, automation, robotics, real-time guidance, CT-guided PCI, and new workflows designed to transform interventional practice.

T

Advanced structural heart intervention

TAVI, redo TAVI, Valve-in-Valve, M-TEER, tricuspid interventions, coronary obstruction prevention, paravalvular leak management, and combined procedures in highly complex scenarios.

PCI

Complex PCI and clinical decision-making

Left Main, bifurcations, CTO, CHIP PCI, multivessel disease, high-risk patients, and debates on physiology, intracoronary imaging, and revascularization strategies.

Ca

Coronary calcium and plaque modification

A major track dedicated to calcified lesions, atherectomy, intravascular lithotripsy, ELCA, hybrid strategies, and device selection for challenging lesions.

?

Live cases and interactive learning

National and international live cases, live case in a box, case theaters, step-by-step sessions, and practical discussions focused on solving real-world cases.

H

Hands-on training and simulators

Practical training in TAVI, intracoronary imaging, calcium management, CTO, bifurcations, M-TEER, tricuspid intervention, transseptal puncture, and advanced structural masterclasses.

M

Mechanical circulatory support and cardiogenic shock

Protected PCI, device selection, escalation pathways, ECMO, Impella, ECPELLA, and strategies for comprehensive cardiogenic shock management.

C

Congenital heart disease and ACHD

TPVR, neonatal interventions, PDA closure in premature infants, adult congenital heart disease, percutaneous Fontan, and novel flow reduction and redirection strategies.

N

Nursing program

Updates in acute coronary syndrome, structural heart disease, acute kidney injury, patient safety, leadership, cath lab management, radiological protection, and early discharge protocols.

A comprehensive scientific experience

Innovation, clinical practice, and advanced education in one setting

From July 29 to 31, 2026, the World Trade Center São Paulo will become the meeting point for specialists, fellows, technicians, nurses, scientific leaders, and industry partners, with an agenda designed to drive the present and future of regional interventional cardiology.
