BOLOGNA HEART SURGERY SYMPOSIUM
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
After the first successful edition of the “Bologna Heart Surgery Symposium (BHSS) on Aortic Diseases” hosted in September 2022, we are delighted to announce that a second culturally-inspiring event will be organized in the late summer 2023, focused on Advanced Heart Failure.
This dreadful disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, affecting a wide population at all ages. A multi-sectorial approach and an
in-depth analysis by leading global experts will guarantee an update of knowledge and skills covering the entire spectrum of heart failure.
Exciting discussions, pro and cons of new technologies and the latest science on heart failure will provide an unforgettable learning experience and an education leading to improved patient care and better outcomes.
BHSS focus on Advanced Heart Failure will be one and a half day in-person meeting focused on every aspect of heart failure, both acute and chronic, from myocarditis to genetic cardiomyopathies, from pharmacological to antiarrhythmic and surgical therapies, including ECMO, IMPELLA, paracorporeal and intracorporeal VAD, till the total artificial heart and heart transplantation.
The structure of the meeting will include live-in-a-box cases alongside with lectures and videos from masters of the field. Interactions between delegates and faculty is the key feature of BHSS and you are strongly invited to send videos showing your personal experience. The selected videos as well as all relevant
surgical, cardiological, interventional and anesthesiological details will be presented and discussed during the main sessions in a very relaxed and informal
atmosphere.
This meeting is designed for Cardiovascular Surgeons, Cardiologists, Radiologists, Anesthesiologists, Residents, Perfusionists and Nurses.
We strongly feel the need to interact directly in person sharing our professional and personal experience but, as usual in this period, online connection will be
available.
Join us for intense exchanges and networking to overcome the advanced heart failure.
