Dear Colleagues,
In June 2022 we decided to give birth to the “First Edition of Summer talks in Bologna on Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery”, a new international appointment here in Bologna with the aim to create an International conference whose purpose was to give the opportunity to deepen all the aspects of selected topics on congenital cardiac defects from neonates to adult patients.

   Given the interest and the enthusiastic answer of all our colleagues we decided to go forward with this experience.
In June 2023, with the support of an outstanding Faculty composed of international experts, we would like to deal with the topic of ACHD patients, including accurate diagnosis, timing of intervention, selection of the most suitable interventions and risk assessment. A special place will be dedicated to the management of heart failure.
We will have the opportunity to share our knowledge, analyze in detail the whole aspect of congenital heart diseases, and a special focus will be developed on advanced diagnosis, 3D printing, bioinformatics and VAD support. The Second Edition of Summer talks in Bologna on Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery: “The big challenge of adult with congenital heart disease” will be held in Bologna, on June 16th and 17th, 2023.

   Session opening comprehensive lectures will be followed by multiple Live in a Box presentations. Through a viewer-friendly layout, an appropriate time for discussion and a constant interaction between the participants and the Faculty, our meeting is conceived to be engaging.
We are looking forward to welcoming you for an unforgettable learning experience!
Warmest regards,

Dott.ssa Emanuela Angeli, Dott. Andrea Donti, Prof. Gaetano D. Gargiulo
