The summit aims to build an academic exchange platform for Interventional cardiologist regarding the interventional treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions, through reports of the latest clinical trials, case analysis and discussions, as well as operation demonstrations and rebroadcasting.

Specifically, Dr. Alfredo E. Rodriguez performed a case in which Firehawk was used to treat left anterior descending stenosis lesion, and Dr. Pierfrancesco Agoston and Dr. Koen Teeuwen implanted four Firehawk stents in a complex CTO case. The two cases achieved good postoperative outcome and the physicians spoke highly of the excellent crossability, pushability of Firehawk.
