Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the 22nd Pediatric and Adult Interventional Cardiac Symposium — PICS-AICS 2019! The meeting is visiting San Diego for the first time and being held at the beautiful Marriott Marquis just by San Diego Marina. This year we have extended the number of Live Case sites to 11, the largest number we have ever hosted at PICS and reflects an effort to build on the huge strengths of the meeting to bring the most up to date cutting edge interventions to our delegates. This along with 14 taped cases evaluating interventions such as minimally invasive hybrid VSD closure, lymphatic interventions and PDA stenting will ensure that attendees can learn and interact as never before.
