## Dear Colleagues, The Working Group on Invasive and Interventional Cardiology of the Croatian Cardiac Society is organizing the 8 th Croatian Conference on Interventional Cardiology – CROINTERVENT 2018, which will take place in Hotel Westin, Zagreb, Croatia, on March 8-10, 2018. Since the last Conference, new diagnostic and interventional procedures emerged or have been established. New drugs have been introduced in routine clinical practice, and the value of some existing drugs for improving primary outcomes or preventing cardiovascular complications of cardiovascular interventions has been additionally confirmed. The aim of this event, in addition to demonstrating current clinical practice in interventional cardiology, is to discuss concerns and difficulties encountered in our daily practice. Apart from cardiology and cardiology specialists, the CROINTERVENT 2018 is intended for cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, doctors of other specialties, and everyone else who is professionally associated with this important part of modern medicine. The conference program will contain invited lectures and oral and moderated poster presentations. As before, a significant part of the conference will be dedicated to the practical side of interventional cardiology, both through transmitted “live cases” and presentation of already completed interventions with analysis and evaluation. This Supplement of Cardiologia Croatica – the official journal of the Croatian Cardiac Society, consists of selected original contributions from our participants in the form of abstracts, which will be presented at the meeting in the form of oral presentations and moderated posters. Sincerely yours,
