International Day for Interventional Cardiology 2025

The United Nations observes the International Day for Interventional Cardiology on September 16, 2025, every year to raise awareness of advancements in minimally invasive heart procedures. The day is celebrated annually, and its date commemorates the first successful percutaneous coronary intervention performed on September 16, 1977.

These innovative procedures, using catheter technology, improve not only life expectancy but also the quality of life for patients with cardiovascular conditions. The day emphasizes the importance of accessibility to such treatments worldwide and promotes further research in cardiology.
