2009 Terumo Speaker Series

Cardiac surgeons speak on topics in hybrid aortic arch repair

Terumo hosted a series of presentations by leading cardiac surgeons at the Terumo exhibit during the 2009 annual meetings of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and The American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS).  The speakers presented their experiences and techniques in hybrid aortic arch repair using Vascutek® vascular grafts.

A CD-ROM that includes the presentation slides and clinical videos, with accompanying audio by the speakers, is now available.
