The XXXVIII Regional SOLACI Sessions took place on August 23rd and 24th in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The event was a true success, bringing together over 250 attendees and some of the best Latin American specialists in hemodynamics.

Drs. Visconti and Castillo together with Lic. Orsi receive their award during the Bolivia Sessions 2019.

The Sessions featured two contests: the Contest for Young Interventional Cardiologists and the Medical Image Contest.
