All right, good. Good evening and good afternoon. And while everybody's grabbing their dinner plate, we're going to start slowly but surely with our program. And I'll invite my introducer. I'm George Dengas from Mount Sinai. I'm one of the moderators of the session along with Dr. Abbott, who is the co-chair of the entire scientific session this year, as well as joined by Dr. Paolo Caramori, who is the head of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology in Porto Alegre, Brazil. I'm very happy to have him with us. And we have a very esteemed faculty who join us for the lectures. Dr. Hadzisis from University of Miami, chief of cardiology. Dr. Kate Kearney from the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington. She's here. I saw her a little earlier. Dr. Jas Singh, the leader of interventional cardiology in Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. Jas, thanks for coming once again. And Dr. Vlad Javic is a leader of bifurcation intervention in Canada, Toronto General Hospital, and he will join us as the last speaker. The learning objectives is to review an algorithmic approach to PCI in bifurcated lesions, to discuss a case involving a bifurcated lesion, and describe the role of intercoronary imaging in bifurcation PCI, as well as to evaluate the drug-coated balloons in treating bifurcation lesions, and to have a very fruitful discussion with any of you, or all of you, about the subject as they evolve. So let me introduce the first speaker, Dr. Yanis Hadzisis, University of Miami Medical Center. Algorithmic approach in bifurcation PCI. A real pioneer of this subject, Yanis, and the chair of the Bifurcation Club of SCCHI. Congratulations, and thank you for joining us once again in the faculty here.
