What is the Simulation Village?

The Simulation Village offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and develop a deeper understanding of this evolving paradigm, while exploring these techniques through guided initiation sessions. It also provides an excellent setting to connect and exchange with peers.

This dedicated learning pathway will give participants a practical overview of the fundamentals of interventional approaches to disease management, with a particular focus on cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and cardiac arrhythmia ablation.

By combining the expertise of industry partners – delivering cutting-edge technologies tailored to various interventions – with EHRA’s excellence in education and proctoring, the programme is designed to deliver an innovative and high-quality learning experience for all delegates.

Topics

Workshop 1 - Implantation of a conduction system pacing lead
Workshop 2 - Extraction of intravascular lead
Workshop 3 - Epicardial ablation: access strategies and procedural solutions
Workshop 4 - How to perform PVI with 3D mapping guided PFA
Workshop 5 - Advanced LA mapping and PVI hands-on experience
Workshop 6 - Venous access closure device
Workshop 7 - How to perform intracardiac echo-guided transeptal puncture?
Workshop 8 - How to perform PVI with 3D mapping guided point-by-point ablation
