Final Program
Welcome Address
Over the past few years, more and more innovative and less invasive techniques have been
introduced for treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Some of them have received an enthusiastic acceptance, not necessarily
justified by clinical results.
Simultaneously surgical techniques have been further refined, reaching surprisingly excellent
results even in the very old population and in complex cases.
In the last decades of last century coronary angioplasty became widespread all over the world,
generating the impression that bypass surgery may have shortly disappeared. However,
the results of the latest Syntax Study have failed to demonstrate the “non-inferiority”
of angioplasty vs. coronary bypass surgery in large numbers of patients.
Currently, the cardiovascular scene is dominated by the introduction in clinical practice of TAVI,
mitral clip, aortic endoprostheses and hybrid procedures.
There is no doubt that some of these costly procedures, or their evolutions, will find a place
in the routine therapeutic armamentarium for at least some selected groups of patients.
In most instances, however, not only their superiority, but even their “non-inferiority”over
surgical alternatives still needs to be demonstrated.
The Italian College of Cardiac Surgeons intends to invite the cardiovascular community
to the ongoing Expert Forum, as a way to bring into focus the best procedures for treatment
of cardiovascular diseases.
The venue of the meeting will be inside the unique scenario of the Roman Imperial Forum.
I hope you will enjoy your stay in a city rich in millennial vestigia as well as contemporary
attractions.
I look forward to meeting you in Rome next July.
Yours sincerely,
Luigi Chiariello,
President

Program description
The resulting scientific program
represents a worldwide overview
of the traditional surgical approach
vs. innovative technical solutions
for the treatment of cardiovascular
diseases, such as hybrid approach or
less-invasive percutaneous therapies.
While surgery continues to be the
gold standard therapy for most
patients, subsets of patients may
benefit from less-invasive innovative
therapeutic solutions.
- To learn the possible advantages of
a dedicated
hybrid operating room
- To define expanding costs
of innovative techniques and their
