Join us in Orlando or virtually for Innovations in Heart Valve Reconstruction: A Master Class - 8th Annual Advances in Congenital Heart Disease Summit on February 22-24.
Featuring dynamic lectures, interactive panels, and focused workshops, our renowned faculty will provide master-level instruction on heart valve reconstruction, with presentations addressing diagnosis and intervention, imaging, surgical planning, repair techniques, and long-term outcomes. We’ll conclude the Summit with our lively debate and discussion session, focusing this year on Ross vs. Ozaki – Pro/Con and Early repair vs. Watchful waiting in valve disease.
Throughout the Summit, view abstract posters and engage in networking opportunities, including a Friday night dessert reception and fireworks at EPCOT®.
