Winners of the 2019 Bolivia Sessions

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.

Dr. Mariano Visconti, from Sanatorio Julio Méndez (Buenos Aires, Argentina), was awarded the 1st prize at the Clinical Case Contest for Young Interventional Cardiologists sponsored by ABBOTT Vascular. Dr. Visconti presented an interesting case on “iFR and IVUS in Intermediate Lesion” and was awarded a scholarship including registration, lodging, and plane tickets for one of the upcoming SOLACI sessions.
