About GKNM
It gives me immense pleasure to invite you all to the 17th Annual Workshop.
Aortic Valve Repair is not widely practiced due to various reasons and one among
it being the lack of a structured approach to deal with the problem unlike the
Mitral Valve. Last year we had Prof. Schafers who beautifully demonstrated the
techniques and introduced us to geometric height, effective height and various
techniques involved in remodeling. To complete the subject and to explore all
possible ways and techniques we continue with the same theme this year but with
different school of practices. Two other pioneers in this field, Prof. Gebrine
El Khoury and Prof. Emmanuel Lansac will be our visiting faculty this year.
Prof. K. Chandrasekaran, from Mayo clinic who has done a lot of original work in
Valvular Heart disease including the PISA will enlighten us on Echo Assessment
in the Opertating Room. The programme is packed with interesting topics, with
relevance to current clinical practices. Also we have a national faculty rich in
experience and with your continued participation and interaction, I am sure we
will be having another wonderful two days of academics. As in the past we will
have a very useful pre dinner session called “ Meet the Experts”, a new format
this year. I request you all to kindly register early to help us organize it
better. For accomotation you may find the four conference hotels with tariff
given in the brochure. Please quote GKNM conference to avail the special rates
when you write to them or book online.
The venue of the conference will be in GKD Auditorium, GKNM Hospital to
facilitate better faculty interaction during a live workshop.
