12th Annual Re-Evolution Summit - Jan. 25-26, 2024
In-Person and Virtual attendance options are available.
Presented by the Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center
This conference will teach the practical aspects of minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery. Topics will include mitral valve repair, AF ablation, AVR, TAVR and different strategies for minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery. The program features lecture and hands-on training in a state of art facility (MITIE) by world class faculty. There will also be excellent opportunities for networking with the faculty and others.
