MITACS Returns

MITACS RETURNS

30 November – 1 December 2023 | Leipzig, Germany

Michael Borger, MITACS Local Meeting Director

We are excited to host the Minimally Invasive Techniques in Adult Cardiac Surgery (MITACS) course in Leipzig in Germany later this year. In previous years this course has been extremely popular and, as minimal invasive cardiac surgery procedures are playing an increasingly important role in our specialty, we welcome its return to the EACTS Academy calendar.

If you are interested in starting your own minimally invasive programme or seeking to expand your programme’s capabilities, then the MITACS course is for you. The comprehensive programme, which has been put together by an expert organising committee, is focused on developing skills in minimally invasive techniques and exploring the key technical elements of a successful minimal invasive cardiac procedure. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience live local surgical

broadcasts such as the recently developed MICS CABG procedure and minimally invasive mitral valve repair, for which the Leipzig Heart Centre is renowned.

Alongside didactic lectures and live cases there will be plenty of time for informal discussions with our panel of recognised experts in the field who will be available to answer questions and provide their expert tips.

This year we are honoured to be joined by Patrick Perier, EACTS President, and a pioneer in minimally invasive surgery. During his keynote presentation ‘My personal mitral valve journey’ he will share his valuable insights from his 20 years’ experience of working in the field.

I strongly recommend joining us in November for this fantastic course.
