The Symposium will be the largest minimally invasive cardiac surgery event held in Brazil, covering all the latest topics in heart valve surgery, coronary surgery and atrial fibrillation surgery, whether using a video-assisted, endoscopic or robotic approach.
We will also have live surgeries and interactive discussions with all the participants.
We hope that surgical modalities, especially robotics, can show a future path to further improvements for everyone.
We will be offering a unique experience of socializing with the greatest international authorities in MICS, who will be on our premises teaching courses in specific surgical techniques, which will be offered to participants.
There will also be lunchtime meetings with specialists, giving all participants the opportunity to network with renowned international colleagues.
