CroValv is bi-annual Congress, designed for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, neurologists, residents, general practitioners, and for all who are professionally involved in the treatment of valvular diseases.

Since the last congress, we made a lot of progress, in the field of percutaneous, interventional treatment in cardiac surgery, coronary artery diseases, heart failure and obesitas which indirectly affects the improvement and treatment of cardiac valve diseases.

The goal of the congress is to present challenges in the approach, diagnosis and selecting the most optimal way of treating patients with valvular diseases and to help implement the latest research findings into clinical practice.
