In the evolving landscape of valvular heart disease, both percutaneous and surgical techniques now offer highly effective treatment options for aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve conditions. While surgery has long been considered the gold standard, recent advances in transcatheter approaches have created new opportunities—particularly for high-risk patients.
At the same time, cardiac surgery itself is changing: innovative, less invasive techniques are being developed to enhance recovery, reduce hospital stays, and improve overall quality of life.
MIX MICS is a multidisciplinary course designed to provide a comprehensive and practical understanding of both surgical and interventional strategies, with a strong focus on clinical decision-making and patient-centered care.
Participants will gain:
-
A structured overview of current percutaneous and surgical approaches, including indications and patient selection criteria
-
A step-by-step look at procedural techniques through lectures and live case transmissions
-
An interactive comparison of surgical versus transcatheter options in complex clinical scenarios, guided by a faculty of experienced operators
This course is intended for cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and all professionals involved in the management of valvular heart disease who seek to deepen their expertise and collaborate within a true heart team environment.
