What participants get

  • Real case simulations: Train on patient-specific simulators that replicate the anatomy and challenges of real OR cases.
  • Unlimited repetition: Practice different MIDCAB procedures, including LIMA/RIMA harvesting and stabilizer settings, no cadavers or mannequins used.
  • Augmented reality (AR): Visualize surgical anatomy and case-specific variations with AR modules for deeper understanding and spatial orientation.
  • Pre- and post-event training: Prepare at home with online guidance and anastomosis kits; extend learning after the event with structured feedback and remote sessions.
  • Personalized learning: Receive scoring and direct feedback to enhance your technique and guide skill progression.
  • Discussion sessions: Analyze surgical results and flow optimization in dedicated feedback blocks led by expert faculty.
  • Networking opportunities: Connect with peers and mentors to build your minimally invasive coronary surgery experience.

Skill level: 2–3

Designed for residents (3rd year onward) and surgeons starting independent MIDCAB practice, the course ensures a complete and realistic skill-building journey.

Fee includes pre-course assessment, simulator use, AR content, all lectures, lunch, and refreshments. Hotel accommodation not included.

FAQs

Yes, absolutely. The course is built on collaboration among multiple high-level experts and is accredited. 

  • The course is led by Prof. Peter Gloviczki (Director, Gonda Vascular Center, Mayo Clinic), a world-renowned leader in vascular and surgical education.
  • The curriculum is built on the proficiency-based training methodology, a scientifically validated approach that focuses on individual progress, skill mastery, and measurable outcomes.

Every part of the program (tasks, feedback, and simulations) is carefully designed to support your personal learning journey.

We completely understand. The course will only begin once the expected minimum number of participants is reached. In the unlikely event of cancellation, you will receive a full refund and additional discounts for future activities.

You will also receive all necessary information through email, media updates, and personal guidance to help you understand how the course works and how to get the most benefit.

Most importantly, if the program does not meet your expectations, you can request a full refund, no questions asked. That’s how YourAnastomosis works: no wasted time, no wasted cost, and no pressure. You are always supported.

The YourAnastomosis platform uses advanced machine learning to evaluate and score your surgical procedures. Here’s how it works: 

  • predictive analysis: the platform simulates your completed anastomosis using morphological assessment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to predict clinical outcomes and flow characteristics. This generates an objective performance score, ensuring accurate and personalized evaluation of your technique. 
  • personalized feedback: detailed analysis identifies any morphological issues and offers suggestions for improvement, focusing on fluid dynamics and vessel wall characteristics. 
  • anastomosis score: you receive a score that reflects your performance, with specific feedback on lumen morphology and blood flow characteristics.

This course offers a truly unique and high-impact experience for transplant surgeons. Every hands-on session is built around real surgical cases, with detailed performance analysis and personalized feedback that go far beyond traditional workshops or skills labs.

Here’s what sets it apart:

  • comprehensive feedback: you will receive structured evaluations based on anastomosis morphology, tissue handling, and flow dynamics derived from computational simulations. Feedback is grounded in validated surgical performance metrics, enabling precise identification of strengths and areas for improvement.
  • individual suggestions: expert feedback includes targeted, practical recommendations to help you improve your technique on the spot.
  • realistic simulation tools: train on high-fidelity organ models that simulate vascular pathologies, anatomical variation, and procedural challenges.
  • augmented reality integration: use interactive AR tools to explore anatomical structures, follow surgical steps, and support postoperative care decisions.

This is not just another workshop. It is a personalized, evidence-based training experience designed to accelerate your skills and decision-making in transplant surgery.
