• The Heyendael Committee for Postgraduate Medical
  Education organises the seventh postgraduate
  course on Surgery of the Aortic Root, Mitral
  Repair Including Surgical approaches for Atrial
  Fibrillation directed at practising
  cardiothoracic surgeons.
• Surgical interventions and valve replacement at
  the aortic outlet attracts more and more
  attention as the result of surgical and technical
  innovations. The same is true for mitral valve
  repair including the treatment of Atrial
  Fibrillation. This course focuses upon the region
  of the aortic outlet with a view to a more
  profound insight in the surgical anatomy of this
  region and to enlarge the expertise in the
  surgical approach of the aortic root pathology
  such as the stentless xenograft aortic valve
  replacement and aortic root replacement. The
  second day will review the state of the art of
  rhythm surgery and mitral reconstructive surgery
  techniques.
• The format of the course includes instructed
  hands on surgery on fresh (unembalmed) anatomic
  specimens interspersed with surgical
  demonstrations on site and assessment of the
  state of the art with video and slide
  presentations. The participants will practice the
  implantation of a stentless xenograft aortic
  valve, the reconstruction of the aortic root and
  mitral valve repair techniques. The use of
  unembalmed anatomic material, which is unique in
  the world, offers the opportunity to practice as
  close as possible to a surgical intervention with
  the corresponding tissue feeling. We hope to
  welcome you at this remarkable course.
