The 5th ‘Utrecht Sessions’ for Congenital Heart Disease

February 8 - 10, 2018

Home

For 2018 we would like to invite you to the 5th ‘The Utrecht Sessions’ for Congenital Heart Disease, which will take place on February 8th – 10th, 2018 at the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital/UMC Utrecht in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Forty years after the first Arterial Switch Operation in Utrecht, we would like to provide an overview of the current imaging and management standards of patients with Transposition of the Great Arteries, ranging from D-Transposition and L-Transposition, to complex congenital lesions including Taussig-Bing anomaly, from fetus until adulthood.

The two-day International Symposium on February 9th and 10th will again bring together clinical and research experts from The Netherlands, Europe and North America to present an exciting and innovative programme. Their contributions will lead us into the fascinating and highly complex world of the Transposition of the Great Arteries and reflect on comprehensive treatment strategies. We are already looking forward to stimulating lectures and interactive discussions. Discussion will again have a special place, to encourage interaction between the participants and the speakers and chairpersons. A satellite symposium in Dutch language will be organized on Thursday February 8th, intended for parents, local health care providers and partners in the field of pediatric cardiac care.

Looking forward to seeing you on February 8th, 9th and 10th, 2018!
