Continuing medical education (CME) is an important tool for doctors and medical professionals to disseminate knowledge about best practices, boost scientific collaboration and stay on top of the changes in the field of healthcare. Therefore, Canon Medical Systems recently organized workshops for cardiologists in Apollo Hospitals and also at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research in Chennai on treatment procedures like chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO PCI).

At Canon’s behest, CTO PCI specialist, Dr. Kinzo Ueda, Cardiovascular Intervention Center, Takase Clinic, Japan visited these hospitals to share insights from his considerable experience of performing this procedure successfully on patients in Japan and across the world.
