MICS 2022

Minimally Invasive and Catheter Solutions
Castello Carlo V, Lecce

General Information on the Program

This two-day conference is dedicated to minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, specifically, recent advances in atrial fibrillation, minimally and ultra-minimally invasive, robotic-assisted tricuspid and mitral valve surgery, and less conventional cardiac catheterization mitral valve procedures.

The conference is aimed at a wide range of professionals, including cardiac surgeons, interventional and non-interventional cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and perfusionists with a specific interest in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, from basic diagnosis to advanced treatment.

The faculty is comprised of global opinion leaders in the field who are invited to share their expertise.
