Adult Cardiac Masterclass: CABG of Today and Tomorrow | Recorded at the AATS 105th Annual Meeting

To describe the current status of CABG including the best conduit choice and corresponding coronary target selection.  This course also looks at the different surgical approaches to CABG including off-pump and less invasive techniques and is illustrated using video, debates, evidence-based algorithms, question and answer sessions, as well as group panel discussion.

This session includes the following presentations: 

  • Coronary Endarterectomies and Stentectomies
  • Panel Discussion
  • MICS CABG- Who Needs the Robot?
  • Robotic-assisted MICS
  • Totally Robotic CABG
  • Panel Discussion

Learning Objectives

  1. Learn modern CABG techniques and approaches as performed by international experts as well as evidence-based treatment strategies, across the spectrum of different coronary disease anatomies and patient risk profiles including heart failure. 
  2. Participate in a discussion of how these treatment strategies may be used to promote adoption into one’s own surgical practice and how to overcome learning curves and possible barriers to adoption.
