Dr. David Adams teaching cardiac surgery fellows how to perform mitral valve surgery on a porcine model.

Cultivating new entrants into the field of cardiac surgery is more important than ever. Supporting mentoring our current trainees is critical to demonstrate our commitment to education. This year, we have an opportunity to provide a new and unique educational program to cardiac surgery fellows. The fellows will actively participate and be asked to respond to questions similar to clinical practice and examinations. The program is organized around practical case presentations addressing the surgical management of aortic valve disease, aortic root pathology and aneurysms, mitral and tricuspid valve disease, CABG, reoperations, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure. This comprehensive program is designed with the following objectives in mind:

 

  • To provide fellows with practical surgical techniques, clinical judgment and outcome information.
  • To provide a forum for discussing technical challenges and controversies.
  • To present clinical and professional information relevant to surgeons who will soon be entering practice.

Co-directors Alain Carpentier, M.D., Ph.D., and David H. Adams, M.D., will be joined by an esteemed faculty of surgeons and cardiologists for an interactive program of surgery, presentations, and discussions for cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthesiologists and cardiologists.

 

Providing a broader scope and educational format different from the former Carpentier Le Club Mitrale, this CME-accredited 2-day course includes both live surgeries and discussion of pre-recorded cases.

 

Surgical techniques for valve reconstruction and replacement will be presented for mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves. The role of echocardiographic assessment, as well as indications and techniques for adjunctive and future therapies, will also be included.
