15th Training Course for Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Surgery

September 15 - 18, 2024
 

Training minimally invasive valve surgery in the era of interventional valve therapies

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

We also want to stay along with our tradition to support teams who require a more specific hands-on training at a more focused level. For this reason, we offer again a level
2 Wet-lab training during the Focus Valve Training Days 2024, which will be held at our facilities in Innsbruck from February 22nd - 23rd, 2024.
The training will be complemented by intensive OR hospitations and in-depth theoretical presentations. More information about this practical course are available  here.

Last but not least, make 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

The Program directors

Nikolaos Bonaros, Daniel Höfer, Ludwig Müller, Michael Grimm
