Dear Colleagues and Friends:

On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to welcome you to the 11th Kamakura
Live Demonstration Course 2004 in Yokohama, Japan.
Kamakura Live Demonstration Course has been making a feature of Trans-Radial Coronary
Intervention [TRI] since it started. We believe that we could have shared our knowledge
and development about TRI and updated our professional skills each other more than a
few.
Twelve years have already passed since Dr. Kiemeneij first introduced TRI in the world.
During these years, TRI has established its most important position in the recent advance
in percutaneous coronary intervention. Especially in Asian countries, this course has been
maintaining a great influence to contribute to the spread of TRI.
Since 2002, we have been focusing to the beginners of TRI and one of the aims, on
December 11th, we would like to hold “The 4th Dr. Sakai’s View on TRA/TRI” this year as
well. We will also provide a Co-Medical Session, that is, “Come Come Club” on December
11th.
In addition, following a new attempt in 2003, we would like to invite young operators to
perform TRI with our Course Director, Dr. Shigeru Saito in the afternoon of December
12th.
We very much expect the enthusiastic young interventionalists to challenge the technique
of TRI with Dr. Saito and to encourage the promising Radialists over the world. The other
new conferences during the course -KNIC & CRT- would be expected to show the other
aspects of Kamakura Live.
We hope all of the participants could find the 11th Kamakura Live Demonstration Course
as the most state-of-the-arts experiences of TRI.
We would like to express our sincere thanks for your participation.
Looking forward to collaborating with you on this fruitful time.
