MINIMALLY INVASIVE AND TRANS-CATHETER CARDIAC SURGERY

Research Center

The research center was founded in 2020 as an interdepartmental center within the Università Politecnica delle Marche (UNIVPM). The Center aims to promote the knowledge, development and dissemination of minimally invasive and trans-catheter cardiac surgery.

In this area, its activity consists in designing and implementing research projects in the fields of new device, techniques and technology development, health technology assessment, health management, artificial intelligence, 3D modeling, computational and experimental models for fluid/hemodynamic analysis and valve functional testing. Moreover, the Center promotes clinical trials, teaching and scientific dissemination activities.

INNOVATION AND RESEARCH

Cornerstones

Without losing their excellent short- and long-term outcomes, cardiac surgeons are ready to target new measures of outcomes that are related to patient’s satisfaction and QoL. A multidisciplinary approach from surgeons, anesthesiologists, perfusionists, nurses and physical therapists may help reducing the impact of our interventions by reducing physical and psychological trauma, fastening recovery with enhanced post-operative lifestyle.
The development of simplified techniques is crucial for MICS dissemination within a surgical team/community.
Cardiac surgeons should embrace catheter-based techniques and technologies in theirs and their patients’ interest.

Our Research Center is at work to generate the evidence at support of the above-mentioned notions.

Episode V

May 28^th-29^th, 2026

Course Director: Prof. M. Di Eusanio
Guest Co-Director: Prof. Utz Kappert

We are delighted to announce the fifth edition of the Ancona Live Course, a premier event dedicated to innovation and excellence in minimally invasive cardiac surgery.

This year’s program will focus specifically on transaxillary valve surgery and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols.

Under the scientific direction of Prof. M. Di Eusanio and guest co-director Prof. Utz Kappert, this two-day course will bring together international experts for live surgical cases, discussions, and knowledge sharing.

A unique opportunity for a deep dive into this minimally invasive approach, the course will feature six live transaxillary valve interventions.

Stay tuned – the full scientific program and registration details will be available soon.
