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.

Who attends LUCCA?

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.

What live cases will I see?

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.

Are hands-on workshops included?

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.

Is LUCCA accredited for CME credits?

Not yet. Accreditation for LUCCA 6.0 will be applied for once the programme has been submitted. Details on CME credits will follow.

Where does LUCCA take place?

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.

When does LUCCA 6.0 take place?

Thursday 29 April to Saturday 1 May 2027, at the KKL Lucerne and the Luzerner Kantonsspital (LUKS). The detailed schedule follows with the programme.

How do I register and what does it cost?

Registration for LUCCA 6.0 is not yet open. Details on registration and fees will be published soon. For questions, please contact FentEvent at info@fent-event.ch.
