The two-day International Symposium on February 9th and 10th will again bring together clinical and research experts from The Netherlands, Europe and North America to present an exciting and innovative programme. Their contributions will lead us into the fascinating and highly complex world of the Transposition of the Great Arteries and reflect on comprehensive treatment strategies. We are already looking forward to stimulating lectures and interactive discussions.
