TRANSCATHETER THERAPY AND COLLABORATION: Defining our Future

Chairs:

A. Marc Gillinov, MD
Cleveland Clinic

Mathew R. Williams, MD
Columbia University

This session will provide valuable data and training on advancements in surgical techniques, such as lesser-invasive approaches, robotics, novel valves and repair procedures, use of intraoperative imaging, novel devices, and optimal pharmacotherapy, in order to improve outcomes for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. With the expansion of hybrid surgical and interventional revascularization for coronary artery disease and the growing use of endografts as primary therapy for aortic aneurysms, the contemporary surgeon has never had more options available for the treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease. The TCT@AATS session is an in-depth course focusing on novel and advanced surgical techniques for surgeons interested in the most contemporary surgical techniques and catheter-based approaches.
