On behalf of the International CTEPH Association (ICA) it is our pleasure to invite you to Bad Nauheim in Germany for our International CTEPH Conference (ICC) taking place on 19-20 June 2020. The triennial ICC medical congresses are solely dedicated to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).

The field of CTEPH has seen a remarkable evolution over the last years. Interventional treatment has established itself as a standard worldwide, and extensive research is being made into the optimal use of existing treatment modalities depending on patient profiles. For the upcoming ICC 2020, we have compiled a programme covering all aspects of the disease, ranging from pathophysiology and epidemiology over diagnosis to surgery, interventional treatment and medical therapy. The final session will be devoted to some of the hot topics currently discussed in the field. We are delighted to announce that ICC 2020 will be endorsed by PHA Europe.

Our goal is to offer a platform for sharing and discussing the latest scientific and clinical developments in the area of CTEPH, in order to allow for an informative and dynamic conference. We would be delighted to welcome you to Bad Nauheim in 2020.
