Coronavirus disease pandemic has caused a dramatic reduction of elective and urgent interventional cardiology procedures, with a negative impact on training of interventional cardiology fellows. This study showed that 95% of interventional cardiology fellows during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic believe that their training would be moderately or severely impacted by the health crisis. Interventional cardiology programs need to reorganize in order to ensure safe pathways for both urgent and elective cases, primarily for patients' care but also to grant an adequate caseload for trainees.

Advanced interventional cardiology fellows might be more confident because they have already completed a 12 month of interventional training, but also considering that a significant proportion of structural heart intervention skills lay in preprocedural imaging and heart-team discussion (less impacted by the pandemic), and technical procedural
