The creation of EAPCI in 2006 from the reunion of EuroPCR and the ESC Working Group on Coronary Interventions has launched an exciting and rewarding journey, translating visionary and generous dreams into reality.
Our Association was given the opportunity since its creation to share its objectives, goals, concerns and hopes with the interventional cardiology through the EAPCI Columns published in EuroIntervention Journal. Indeed, in each issue, EuroIntervention give the opportunity to the Association, usually through its President, to share its objectives, goals, concerns, and hopes with the interventional community through the EAPCI Column.
