Master Class Simulation in Cardiac Surgery:
Objectives
To learn and understand the basic concepts of congenital and rheumatic valve repair.
To advance education in congenital, inflammatory cardiovascular diseases and options for surgical management.
To learn various techniques of valve repair procedures on biological simulators for the management of congenital and juvenile rheumatic valve diseases under tutorial guidance.
To practice deliberately repeated valve repair procedures learnt on biological simulators under tutorial guidance.
To empower young generation surgeons to perform complex valve repairs in a reasonable time-frame to minimize procedural related complications.
