Aortic surgery is an area of subspecialisation uncommonly encountered by the majority of cardiac surgeons. In most UK centres, it is difficult to train in aortic surgery for acute type A aortic dissection, due to both case complexity and low volume. Most senior cardiac surgical trainees will never perform such surgery and most recently appointed consultants will have had only limited exposure to such cases.
This course will provide a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience of aortic dissection scenarios including total aortic arch replacement, supervised by an expert faculty of both national and international repute. It is aimed at recently-appointed consultant cardiac surgeons or surgeons wishing to progress to perform aortic surgery, and senior trainees in cardiac surgery.
