Philips IVUS Case Competition

CIRSE 2026 will feature the Philips IVUS Case Competition, which aims to promote minimally invasive treatments using intravascular ultrasound in peripheral indications. The goal of this initiative is to support the next generation of leaders in medicine by giving them a platform to share their clinical knowledge, network with mentors and industry partners, and inspire future medical professionals with their successful case studies.
