Start Successfully Your Own Endoscopic MV Program Soon! Course Director: Dr. Frank Van Praet Organization: Aalst Cardiac Academy Dates: November 17 - 20 | 2020 Location: Aalst, Brussels, Belgium Target audience: These courses are intended for experienced cardiac surgeons. Places are limited. Maximum 8 participants per course to guaranty the hands-on and individual approach of this course. Intro by Dr. Frank Van Praet: In this four days human cadaveric truly hands-on course I want to prepare participants to be really ready to start an endoscopic mitral valve program. In more than twenty years of teaching and guiding surgeons by case-observation and later proctoring I have been a personal witness of the huge gap between being a good surgeon, having the ambition to start such a mini-mitral program and actually being successful in doing it. All the tips and tricks leading to a good endoscopic exposure of the mitral valve are key in this. Two LIVE-case observations at the OLV Clinic Aalst, lectures, highly instructive wet-lab exercise and a full day of cadaveric training at the exciting facility of ORSI should make this course outstanding and unique. My ambition is to transfer all this knowledge and hands-on skills step by step to the individual participant to make him or her truly ready for a successful start in their own departments. Success! Dr. Frank Van Praet Program: DAY 1. Welcoming and introduction to the facilities of the OLV Clinic Aalst, Belgium.  DAY 2. First LIVE Case and Wetlab Training.  DAY 3. Full day human cadaveric trainings with interactive lunch.  DAY 4. Second LIVE Case and summarizing lectures.
