The 2-hour workshop sessions will focus on hands-on technical training in OPCAB and MIDCAB procedures. Following a brief didactic summary highlighting key technical aspects, participants can freely rotate between stations featuring direct case simulations of OPCAB and MIDCAB with varying levels of challenge.

The course also offers a unique opportunity to practice the use of stabilizers, retractors, and intracoronary shunts in realistic scenarios. As always, the simulations are integrated with performance analysis and scoring, and the best-performing participants will be awarded the Medtronic Championship.
