The Korean Cardiovascular Complication Club (K-CCC) was founded in 2013 to provide opportunities for cardiologists to share medical knowledge of coronary and non-coronary (peripheral and sructural) intervention-related complications. With the time, one annual full day symposium, three reqular evening case conference, and occasional educational lectures are held with multi-department discussion including vascular surgeon, cardiac surgeon and interventional radiologists.

We published educational handbook to guide cardiovascular complication prevention and management for young interventionists. Also we are conducting nationwide multi-center cardiovascular complication registry to establish our own complication related data to set up better systemic prevention and effective management strategy in Korean intervention society.

We made our best effort to become recognized domestically by assembling all of the excellent national capabilities in cardiovascular and peripheral vascular intervention. In addition to our academic activities, we also have strengthend our ties with the international cardiovascular complication societies, including Hong Kong Society of Transcatheter ENdo-cardiovascular Therapeutics (HKstent), complication sessions in CRT (Cardiovascuar Revascularization Therapy) in DC, USA and C3 (Complex Cardiovascular Catheter Therapeutics) in Orlado, USA annually.

This year, we establish friendly relations with European endovascular and cardiac complication (ECC). We hope this meeting woud expand K-CCC’s experience with excellent european colleagues and other international colleagues.
