15th Training Course for Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Surgery
September 15 - 18, 2024
Welcome Address of the Focus Valve Program Directors
Dear colleagues!
Focus Valve 2023 was the most successful course in our history.
We were happy to greet more than 260 participants from 40 different countries who were able to watch live surgeries, discuss and interact with masters of minimally invasive and endoscopic valve procedures.
This year we keep our long tradition to provide the scientific community and all surgeons interested in minimally invasive valve surgery with the unedited videos of the live operations which can be found at Focus Valve Live Cases 2023
Be sure to mark the dates of Focus Valve 2024 which will be held again in Innsbruck from the 15th -18th of September 2024.
For any other requests please feel free to contact us.
We are looking forward to greeting you again next year in Innsbruck
