In this session from the 2025 London Core Review Cardiothoracic Surgery Course, Dr. Borut Gersak, Professor of Surgery at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia and Chief Medical Officer of Corcym, delivered a presentation titled “The Landscape of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery.”
Dr. Gersak explored the importance of evidence-based medicine, technology evolution, and evidence-based selling. He discussed reductionism in cardiac surgery, technical considerations for achieving reduced incisions through a minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) approach, and the power of inventions on adoption rates. Additionally, he covered core principles of MICS, innovation drivers in MICS, and enhanced recovery after surgery. He also addressed the surgical skill requirements, training pathways for MICS, and the significance of continuous learning in advancing surgical practices.
To experience these extraordinary learning opportunities, register for this year’s annual London Core Review, taking place from May 13-15, 2026.
