| What
is the Asian Pacific Society of Interventional Cardiology (APSIC)? |
 Objective |
| The APSIC aims to promote interventional cardiology, particularly
in the field of coronary intervention in the Asian Pacific area. To achieve
this goal, all its members and membership countries have actively participated
and mutually cooperated in all its scientific and social initiatives. |
Vision
|
| Over the past decade, the Society has met its goal
in promoting the development of percutaneous vascular intervention in
many of its membership countries. Mutual
collaborations and technical assistance within the membership nations
of the Society and external support from many western nations have helped
in the maturation and growth of vascular intervention, especially percutaneous
coronary intervention in many membership countries in the Asia Pacific
region. Now the APSIC is in a very crucial moment, building up collaborating
relationship with international organizations, SCAI-ACCi2, TCT and EuroPCR,
and has joint publication with SCAI to have its CCI journal as the official
scientific journal of APSIC. We strongly anticipate the Society will soon
be realized as one of the global interventional Societies. |
