1st International Symposium on Cardiac Valve Diseases: Transcatheter, Endoscopic and Hybrid Techniques “The Future is Now: Transforming the Model of Care in Heart Therapy”


WELCOME MESSAGE


Innovation and progress are born out of necessity. Minimally invasive, endoscopic surgery, and hybrid and transcatheter procedures, arose from the need to improve surgical and interventional outcomes, and are here to shift the model of heart care into a new era. The aim of this conference is to focus on the scientific advances in these fields, which constitute our enhanced quiver in the treatment of heart valve diseases, within a multi-disciplinary team.

With the contribution and joined forces of world-leading academics, eminent specialists, dedicated teams and the industry, we aim to present these well-established models of treatment under the umbrella of St. Luke’s Hospital, an institution where this “future” is already present. The education and support of all healthcare professionals in their quest for self-improvement, is the scope of this conference. Clinical Vignettes, How-to-do-it Presentations, Tips, Tricks and Caveats, with rich audiovisual material, Tele-Simulations and Live Case Transmissions, will all be part of an exciting and rewarding event.

A warm welcome to the beautiful city of Thessaloniki, hometown to a long line of prominent pioneers and innovators, that have made their mark in the history of heart care in Greece. A city with an uninterrupted history of 2500 years, with impressive Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman buildings, and landmark monuments of early Christian Art. A city, which naturally and effortlessly, blends its glorious past with its vibrant, modern lifestyle.
