OVERVIEW

The 12th Current Trends in Aortic and Cardiovascular Surgery Symposium is poised to be a transformative educational experience, dedicated to addressing the continuous evolution in the field of cardiovascular surgery. With a specific focus on aortic and cardiac procedures, the symposium aims to deliver a comprehensive update on the latest advancements and insights.

This commitment ensures that surgeons and their teams remain at the forefront of cutting-edge developments, navigating the dynamic landscape of cardiovascular surgery. The key themes of the symposium encompass advancements in the field, comprehensive updates on pivotal topics, and a specialized focus on the complexities and advancements in the surgical management of the aortic arch. Moreover, the program will delve into guidelines, controversies, and ongoing education, offering valuable insights into best practices. Our target audience includes aortic and cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, residents and fellows, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and perfusionists.

We are honored to have secured commitments from world-class experts in the field, who will converge in Houston, Texas, during our two-day conference on November 1-2, 2024. We invite all interested parties to mark their calendars and actively participate in this crucial educational meeting. Together, let’s propel the field of cardiovascular surgery forward, shaping the future of healthcare.
