Venue & Travel

LUCCA is a focused meeting for interventional cardiologists working on complex and calcified coronary lesions. Three days, live cases transmitted from Luzerner Kantonsspital, hands-on workshops, and direct exchange with international faculty — clinical practice, not commercial booths.

Interventional cardiologists, fellows and cath-lab teams — from Switzerland and across Europe. The room stays deliberately focused: a working audience that discusses cases, not a trade-show crowd. Fellows and nursing staff attend free of charge.

Real coronary interventions performed at Luzerner Kantonsspital and transmitted into the lecture hall in real time — calcified lesions, drug-eluting balloons, and mechanical circulatory support for high-risk PCI. A moderated expert panel works through imaging, strategy and device choice with the operators as each case unfolds.

Yes. Alongside the lectures you work at the station yourself — an intravascular imaging masterclass (OCT and IVUS) plus focused workshops on CTO, DCB and complex PCI. Places are limited and assigned during registration, so book early.

Yes. LUCCA is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC) — the last edition carried 13 credits, convertible to national CME. - Credit count for LUCCA 6.0 to be confirmed.

In Lucerne, across two venues: the hands-on workshops at the KKL Lucerne on the lakefront, and the live cases and lectures at Luzerner Kantonsspital (LUKS), in the main lecture hall.

Dates for LUCCA 6.0 will be confirmed shortly — the meeting traditionally runs over three days in spring. Register your interest to be notified the moment booking opens.

Registration is online via the ticket link. At the last edition, two days cost CHF/EUR 200 (early bird) or 250 (standard); Friday only 150/200. Fellows and nursing staff attend free.
