Approach to heart failure – 36th International Day of the Monaco Cardiothoracic Center

Heart failure can be considered a veritable epidemic due to its prevalence. In France, it affects around 1.5 million people, a figure that is set to rise in line with the aging population.
Due to the diversity of its causes, this condition affects all areas and subspecialties of cardiology and cardiac surgery. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to greatly improve the quality of life and life expectancy of patients. Drug treatments, pacemakers and defibrillators, percutaneous approaches, and surgery were addressed and discussed during this International Day.

At the end of this enriching Day, Professor René Prêtre presented “The Fabulous History of Heart Transplantation,” an epic worthy of the best Hollywood screenplays, and Luc Ferry presented “The Symbolism of the Heart, Between Philosophy, Science, and Mythology.”

 

 

 

Aortic aneurysms: state of the art – International Day of the Monaco Cardio-Thoracic Center

International Day organized by the Scientific Council of the Monaco Cardio-Thoracic Center on the theme of “Aortic aneurysms: state of the art”.

Internationally renowned experts provided a detailed overview of aortic aneurysms. The epidemiology of aortic aneurysms (frequency, incidence, risk factors, location, evolutionary risks, including rupture) is crucial to a better understanding of these conditions, and to improving their prevention, screening and treatment. A full update was also given on current recommendations for pre- and post-operative monitoring, and medical and surgical treatment of aneurysms.

Detailed presentations on the endovascular aortic repair in a variety of aneurysms, including the most complex, the diagnosis and treatment of endoleaks, the place of laparoscopic or robot-assisted aortic surgery, and an update on AI and digital twin technologies in the planning of aortic stents, were the highlights of this International Day.

A meeting of excellence in the image of the CCM, which has built its reputation for over 35 years on its medical-surgical expertise in the management of cardiac and vascular pathologies.

 

 

Imaging in cardiology and A.I. – 35th International Day of the Cardio-Thoracic Centre

On Friday 8th November 2024, the 35th International Day of the Monaco Cardio-Thoracic Centre was held in the Salle Eiffel at the Hôtel Hermitage.

The use and contribution of artificial intelligence in cardiology is progressing rapidly. European experts took stock of the use of A.I. today in the treatment of cardiovascular pathologies, particularly in imaging, which is essential in interventional cardiology and cardiac and vascular surgery.

The benefits of using A.I., its contribution to diagnosis and treatment, its most promising applications, its potential impact on the training of cardiologists, but also its current limitations, were the highlights of this International Day.

It was a meeting of excellence that reflected the image of the CCM, whose reputation has been built on its medical and surgical expertise for over 35 years.
