Program

Teleconference (life transmission from the operating
theatre under direct contact with the auditorium).
Discussion of Basic Science, Surgical Techniques as well
as the Long Term Results.

Type of Operations

Aortic Valve and/or Root Replacement Xenograft
Aortic Root Replacement with Allograft
Ross Procedure, Valvesparing Aortic Root Operation

Objectives of the Postgraduate Symposium:

Demonstrate and discuss modern trends in aortic root surgery – aortic valve
and root replacement with xenograft, aortic allograft and pulmonary autograft,
valve conserving techniques.

Noninvasive & invasive preoperative diagnosis as well as the perioperative
echocardiography will be discussed. Operative techniques will be shown in details
through live surgery.

Special attention will be focused on long term results.
Advances in basic science (biology and function of aortic valve)
in xenograft research and tissue engineering will be addressed as well.
