Track: Cardiac & Cardiothoracic Surgery
Cardiac and cardiothoracic surgery are pivotal in managing severe heart and thoracic conditions, including coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and congenital heart defects. With the rise of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques, these surgeries are becoming safer, more efficient, and less invasive, significantly enhancing patient recovery and satisfaction.
This session explores the latest surgical innovations, including transcatheter valve replacements, robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and hybrid procedures combining surgery with interventional cardiology. The integration of advanced imaging, 3D printing for pre-surgical planning, and enhanced recovery protocols are transforming the surgical landscape.
Market trends show an increased demand for advanced surgical tools and minimally invasive solutions, driven by the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, aging populations, and technological advancements.
Key Topics to Be Discussed:
1. Advances in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
This segment covers innovations such as thoracoscopic procedures, mini-sternotomies, and transcatheter valve replacements (TAVR and TMVR) that reduce surgical trauma and enhance recovery.
2. Robotic-Assisted Cardiothoracic Surgery
Explore the growing role of robotic systems in cardiac surgeries, such as CABG, mitral valve repair, and tumor resections. Discussions will include precision, reduced complication rates, and challenges in adoption.
3. Hybrid Surgical Procedures
Hybrid approaches combining surgery with interventional cardiology techniques, such as hybrid CABG and hybrid ablation for arrhythmias, offer comprehensive solutions for complex cases. This topic will focus on their benefits and clinical applications.
4. Innovations in Thoracic Surgery
Learn about advancements in thoracic surgical techniques, including lung resections, esophageal surgeries, and treatment for mediastinal tumors, with a focus on minimally invasive and robotic methods.
5. Role of Imaging and 3D Printing in Surgery
Discover how 3D imaging and printing are aiding in surgical planning, patient-specific solutions, and education. These tools are enhancing precision and outcomes in complex surgeries.
6. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)
Discuss the implementation of ERAS protocols to improve post-operative recovery, reduce hospital stays, and optimize surgical outcomes.
