Détails de la formation
The Robot-Assisted MIDCAB Team Training Course is a 2-day advanced course by Aalst Cardiac Academy.
Supported by Orsi Academy.
The aim is to offer a complete hands-on one-to-one training in robotically assisted MIDCAB using the daVinci Surgical System allowing the cardiac surgeon and his team to start or improve this procedure back in their own hospitals.
The course consists of one intensive day of hands-on experience at Orsi Academy followed by a day at the OLV Clinic Aalst with live case observation of this surgical intervention by Dr. Van Praet.
The course is designed for one full cardiac team to participate and covers all costs of max. 4 team members.
The course encompasses introductory theory and a live–in-a-box video as well as live surgery at the OLV Clinic, but is especially focusing on practice directly guided by Dr. Frank Van Praet with more than 20 years of experience with the daVinci technology for coronary bypass surgery. The course can be tailored to meet individual needs.
