Balkan Valves is an international cardiovascular imaging congress dedicated to advancing excellence in valvular and structural heart disease imaging. Evolving from the successful Athens Medical Group Cardiovascular Imaging Congress, it aims to bring together leading experts from the Balkans and across Europe to share experience, exchange knowledge, and strengthen regional collaboration. Through a dynamic program of state-of-the-art lectures, live cath-lab cases, and interactive hands-on training, the meeting fosters innovation and education in echocardiography and valvular heart disease — shaping the future of structural heart interventions in our region. On 13th-14th of March 2026 we welcome you in Thessaloniki, in Interbalkan Medical Center.
Directors of the Congress: Dr. Stefanos Karagiannis, Dr. Konstantinos Papadopoulos, Prof. Luigi Badano and Dr. Mani Vannan
