Hands on Hearts Workshop
Hands on Hearts is a three-day anatomic heart disease session directed by CVPath Institute faculty held annually at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference since 2005. Participants get one-on-one hands on teaching with actual cadaver hearts demonstrating a variety of structural and congenital disorders. Specimens include hearts with aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, atrial and ventricular septal defects, PFOs, as well as cardiomyopathies and ischemic heart disease. In addition, implanted cardiac devices such as bioprosthetic valves, PFO closure device, and stents are also available for study. The sessions are an invaluable resource for education and research with practical applications for structural heart interventions.
