Greeting!
Welcome to the Slender Club Japan Annual Meeting & Live Demonstration 2025 in Tokyo!

This year’s theme is “The First Step Towards a Consensus Document for Minimally Invasive Catheter-Based Treatments.”

Over the years, we have pursued minimally invasive treatments from multiple perspectives, including the use of slender catheters, reduction of contrast agents and radiation exposure, radial artery approaches, and vascular imaging techniques. This meeting aims to consolidate these efforts and lay the foundation for sharing them with the world.

The three pillars of SCJ 2025 are Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), Endovascular Therapy (EVT), and Cardiac CT. Through live demonstrations and hands-on sessions, we will share the latest techniques and knowledge in these fields. Additionally, we have prepared comprehensive educational sessions for medical staff, providing everyone with the opportunity to master minimally invasive treatments.

With over 20 international faculty members joining us, this annual meeting also offers a unique platform for global exchanges of ideas and perspectives.

Despite the challenging economic environment, our passion for minimally invasive treatments remains unwavering. Together, we aim to create a future of medicine that is gentle on patients, supportive for staff, and sustainable in every way.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hachioji this spring, amidst the beautiful cherry blossoms.
