Welcome Message

Dear Friends,

It’s my proud privilege to invite you to IACTS Technocollege CME 2022 to be held in Delhi on 20th and 21st August. The theme of the conference is “learning through innovations – together”. The scientific program of the conference has been designed to cover wide variety of topics of adult and paediatric cardiac surgery including ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, aortic surgery, congenital heart disease, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, heart transplant and LVAD.

There will also be a “How I do it” session. The talks will be delivered by experts on the subject. There will be a plenty of time for discussion after the talks. The topics have been chosen to benefit all levels of surgeons from young to very senior as well as trainees. Friends, Cardiovascular Surgery like all other fields of medicine, is moving fast and we have to keep ourselves updated with the latest technologies and techniques. We will have the opportunity to explore, educate and learn together the latest innovations in cardiovascular surgery.

There will also be opportunity to interact with the industry on latest products. The venue “Roseate House” is one of the best event venues in Aerocity, Delhi. We will do our best to make sure that every participant enjoys the conference and the hospitality.

Looking forward to welcoming you all in Delhi for IACTS Technocollege CME, 2022.

Regards,

Dr Z S Meharwal
