We are now going into the 3^rd Year of the AsiaPCR/SingLIVE course.  This meeting has seen strong growth from the strategic East-West partnership. Packed with 72 sessions and a stellar line-up of 217 faculty members, we are extremely proud that 90% of our delegates are satisfied with the meeting. The AsiaPCR-SingLIVE course aims to showcase the latest in medical advances and technology, in addition to teaching the daily PCI practice techniques and management of complications from Eastern and Western perspectives.

In 2011, we hosted 1711 participants from 57 countries. Asia remains our largest market, but we have seen strong growth from Middle East and European participants.  Close to 350 industry representatives participated in AsiaPCR/SingLIVE 2011.

A total of 87 abstracts and 100 clinical cases were received in 2011, doubling that of 2010.  A new complications session drew 41 submissions, with India as the largest contributor. Such active participation demonstrates the quality of the course.

For the upcoming 2012 meeting, the live case format will continue to be featured prominently. We will build on favourite topics like left main and bifurcation interventions, CTO and acute coronary syndromes. There will be place for specialised topics like TAVI, Mitral Valve Interventions and other structural heart disease topics with their related interventional imaging themes. Peripheral Interventions will continue to be featured.

Do join us for AsiaPCR/SingLIVE 2012 from 12-14 January 2012 in Singapore, for yet another exciting and enriching educational experience!
