CTO LIVE AID 2023
From 2023-05-31 to 2023-05-31

CTO LIVE AID is a worldwide digital charity event,
which aims to raise funds to provide healthcare relief where most
needed, while gathering physicians from all over the world for a unique
digital learning experience.
Created in 2020 to help fight the
COVID-19 pandemic, this event has become a major contributor in digital
education for interventional cardiologists, with thousands of
participants each year since its creation.
For four years, CTO LIVE
AID has allowed physicians and industry partners to strengthen their
bonds around a mutual charity effort.
Last year, the conflict in
Ukraine created an unprecedented humanitarian situation in Europe, which
has already forced millions of people to leave their home, and made
millions more vulnerable to shortages of food, energy, medicine, and
care in general.
Therefore, since 2022, CTO LIVE AID has been
successfully committed to providing emergency medicine and equipment to
Ukrainian Hospitals, with a charity donation of over 45,000€.
This year again, 100% of the profits of the congress will be donated to the charity “Support Hospitals in Ukraine”.
The 2023 edition will focus exclusively on CTO-PCI, involving an international faculty of 12 operators and 18 expert panelists, for a 15-hour world tour of live procedures.
We will virtually travel around the world from East Asia to North America, through North Africa and Europe.
6 consecutive time slots will feature 2 simultaneous live cases each
commented by 3 panelists, from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm (CET), all broadcast
live at www.cto-liveaid.com.
To
maintain this charity event, we are organizing a worldwide fundraising
campaign – with the support of Humanitas Research Hospital in Milan –
and we need all medical Industry actors to support this solidarity
initiative based on training, cohesion, and friendship.
This is an
interactive and digital event in which operators, commentators, audience
and supporting companies will not only be sharing professional
experiences with educational purposes, but also raising funds on an
international scale, to support a medical and humanitarian NGO, and
contribute – at our humble level – to making the world a better place.
This is why we have decided to maintain this initiative.
