The 17th New Frontiers in Interventional Cardiology (NFIC) international cardiology workshops were held from 7-10 December in Krakow. More than a thousand specialists from around the world summed up cardiology and cardiac surgery in 2016. We learned which new technologies have introduced significant advancements in cardiology and what will be implemented in 2017. Participants were able to observe innovative treatments, the latest innovations, and discuss the most difficult treatments.
