## Dear Colleagues, It is a great pleasure and honor to cordially invite you to the 9 th Croatian conference on interventional cardiology – CROINTERVENT 2020, which will take place in Zagreb, Croatia, on March 19-22, 2020. Since the last congress, new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures have emerged and existing ones have been improved. All this was made possible by advances in the utilized instruments and materials and the continuous advancement of the skills of interventional cardiologists. Much of the congress will be devoted to pharmacotherapy, which has become a vital part of interventional cardiology and has proven its value in the field of primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in improving the primary outcomes and reducing the incidence of complications of cardiovascular interventions. CROINTERVENT 2020 is designed not only for cardiologists and cardiology fellows but also for other medical specialists and people professionally associated with this important part of modern medicine. The aim of this event is, in addition to demonstrating current clinical practice in interventional cardiology, to reflect on concerns and difficulties encountered in our daily practice. The conference program will contain invited lectures as well as oral and moderated poster presentations. As usual, a significant part of the conference will be devoted to practical side of interventional cardiology, both through displaying “live procedures” and presentation of already completed interventions with analysis, comments, 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,
