The 8th ‘Utrecht Sessions’ on Congenital Heart Disease – “Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: from fetus to stage I”

February 2 - 4, 2023

Home

Dear friends and colleaques,

We would like to invite you to our 8th ‘Utrecht Sessions’ on congenital heart disease, which will take place on February 2nd – 4th, 2023 at the UMC Utrecht/Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital, The Netherlands.

After last year’s highly successful conference on Aortic Anamalies, we will focus on the state-of-the-art management of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Our multidisciplinary concept will cover the entire spectrum from fetal diagnostics to stage I palliation. The international faculty from Europe and North America quarantees stimulation lectures and interactive discussions. Your are welcome to attend and share your experience with all professionals being involved in HLHS care.

 

The main topics will be:

  • Pathology and embryology of hypoplastic left heart syndrome
  • Imaging: from fetal echo to advanced MRI and CT
  • Surgical strategies: Norwood versus Hybrid palliation
  • Early shunt stenosis and pulmonary artery stenosis
  • Neo-aortic arch stenosis: surgical strategies and decision making
  • Brain protection and neuro monitoring in stage I palliation
  • Peri-operative management of single ventricle patients in ICU
  • Anticoagulation before and after stage I
  • Interstage programs across the world, institutional experiences

 

We are looking forward to see you on February 3th and 4th, 2023 in Utrecht!

Gregor Krings, Bram van Wijk, Gabriëlle van Iperen, Heynric Grotenhuis, Trinette Steenhuis, Paul Schoof, Sjef van Gestel, Valerie Slooff, Michiel Voskuil en Heleen van der Zwaan
