AATS Postgraduate Course Congenital Heart Disease Sunday, April 26, 1992 8:00 am - 3:00 p.m. Century Plaza Hotel Los Angeles, California

Objectives The 1992 postgraduate course in congenital heart disease will cover three topics: pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest, and the Fontan procedure. This course will provide in depth coverage of these three challenging and evolving areas of congenital heart disease. There will be specific instruction in the morphology of various lesions, indications for the different surgical procedures, technical details (including cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial protection) and long-term results. Lectures and discussions will focus on controversial areas within each topic, highlighting alternate approaches as applicable. Registration Enrollment in this course will be by pre-registration until March 27, 1992. Registration forms will be processed in the order in which they are received and must be accompanied by payment in full. After March 27, 1992, participants may register onsite. The registration fee is $25.00 and includes PC Course, coffee break and lunch. Accreditation The American Association for Thoracic Surgery is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to sponsor continuing education for physicians. The American Association for Thoracic Surgery designates this continuing medical education activity for 5 credit hours in category 1 of the Physicians Recognition Award of the American Medical Association.
