 \nCASES\, CASES and MORE CASES! \n\nD ear Colleagues\,\nWelcome to the 22n
 d Pediatric and Adult Interventional Cardiac Symposium – PICS-AICS 2019! T
 he meeting is visiting San Diego for the first time and being held at the 
 beautiful Marriott Marquis just by San Diego Marina. This year we have ext
 ended the number of Live Case sites to 12\, the largest number we have eve
 r hosted at PICS and reflects an effort to build on the huge strengths of 
 the meeting to bring the most up to date cutting edge interventions to our
  delegates. This along with 14 taped cases evaluating interventions such a
 s minimally invasive hybrid VSD closure\, lymphatic interventions and PDA 
 stenting will ensure that attendees can learn and interact as never before
 . \n\nThe meeting this year will commence on Wednesday 4th July with a spe
 cial session focussed on Quality and Outcomes. As our interventions become
  more complex and expectations grow\, it is essential that our environment
  and data collection evolve to protects ourselves and our patients. This s
 ession is followed by a Special Symposium on Ductal Interventions with the
  first of our live cases transmitted from Memphis. Following multiple lunc
 htime sessions on an array of topics\, we will have a further Symposium on
  PFO Closure with two live case sites from Virginia and Colorado. The day 
 will finish with our Oral Abstract Session\, which is sure to be a fantast
 ic reflection of the novel scientific work in our field with over 180 abst
 racts accepted for presentation at this years meeting. \n\nThursday 5th Se
 ptember will begin with live case transmissions from Doha\, Cordoba and Je
 ddah. There will be taped cases through lunch from Michigan and Cairo and 
 the afternoon sessions will include ongoing collaboration with 3DI3 at PIC
 S with further taped cases evaluating the use of 3RDA to guide complex pul
 monary artery interventions and transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement.
  Other sessions on Thursday afternoon will include interventions on both t
 he Atrial and Ventricular Septum and also breakout sessions for our Nursin
 g and Associated Professionals. Thursday evening will see the return of th
 e Shark Tank\, following on from last year's huge success and again kindly
  sponsored by PediaVascular with the winner receiving 25\,000USD for his/h
 er winning pitch. \n\nFriday September 6th\, begins with live cases from C

 ventions including a taped case from Seattle. After the days toils\, the P
 ICS-AICS dinner event will take place at the Air and Space Museum and prom
 ises to be a blast! \n\nSaturday September 7th's cases will be transmitted
  from Chile\, Los Angeles and Chicago. Other popular sessions\, including 
 'My Nightmare Case in the Cath Lab' ensure opportunity for discussion and 
 learning from each other's experiences. This year we have decided to concl
 ude the meeting at lunchtime to provide our delegates with the opportunity
  to enjoy the Californian weather or catch earlier flights back eastwards.
  \n\nPoster abstracts will be displayed throughout the meeting. We will co
