CPI Fellows Competition 2026

Tuesday, February 3, 2026 | 19:00 – 21:00

Marriott Montreal Airport In-Terminal Hotel

 The CPI Fellows Competition is an exciting forum to share and discuss interesting (confusing?) and challenging cases with world-renowned experts on imaging and coronary physiology.

We are looking to select 5 cases of either coronary physiology (FFR, iFR or CFR) or intracoronary imaging (OCT, IVUS).

Important Notes:

• Each presenter will have a total of 20 minutes. Timing will be closely monitored. Please plan to complete your case presentation within 20 minutes, including two discussion stop points.
• Selected cases must be structured with a maximum of 2 designated stop points for discussion.
• Submissions should include a summary highlighting the major teaching point(s).
• Please avoid including extraneous information in your slides. Focus on the key highlights of your case. Additional details can be discussed during Q&A.

Please submit case to: Don Palisaitis, MD: dpalisaitis@hotmail.com

Deadline: Friday December 12, 2026

• If your case is selected as 1 of the 5 competitors, we will reimburse your travel (flight up to $750 CAD; or train up to $400 CAD) and one night of hotel accommodation at the meeting venue.
• Please note that Fellows are responsible for booking, changing, and/or cancelling their travel and hotel reservations. Xpertize will reimburse expenses after the event but will not reimburse no-show or cancellation fees charged by the hotel or airline.
• If your case is not selected, we would still be delighted to have you attend, though travel and hotel costs would need to be at your expense.
