During this webinar, an expert panel will focus on different methods of cannulation including: open vs. percutaneous cannulation; perfusion strategies (including when bicaval cannulation is needed); and examination of different methods of myocardial protection including transthoracic aortic cross-clamping and endo-balloon. The session is relevant for cardiac surgeons and trainees at all experience levels, as well as members of robotic cardiac teams interested in understanding basic techniques relevant to robotic cardiac surgery and advanced methods used in more complex scenarios.
This Latin Heart Rounds collaboration between the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) will feature an international panel of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons from Latin America, Europe, and the United States speaking about the current management of syndromic aortic disease.
