2024 Canadian Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Conference
Bringing together minimally invasive cardiac surgeons in Canada to promote collaboration and learning.
About the Conference
Promoting education and collaboration, our MICS conference brings together surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists, and trainees interested in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. This interactive conference will focus on the technical aspects of minimally invasive surgery, perioperative care, and strategies to integrate a MICS program as an important component of a comprehensive cardiac centre.
The MICS conference is supported by AHS, our industry partners, and the Libin Cardiovascular Institute.
Learning Objectives
- Video-based review of the technical aspects of minimally invasive cardiac surgery
- Learning from simulation of minimally invasive techniques
- Implementation of perioperative strategies to reduce pain, facilitate early mobility, and shorten length of stay
- Case-based discussion of outcomes and experiences with minimally invasive techniques
- Establish collaborative research efforts between centers
