Welcome letter

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are pleased to announce that, from 2026 onwards, the “BHSS – Bologna Heart Surgery Symposium” and the “STB – Summer Talks in Bologna on Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Surgery” will be held simultaneously at the same venue.
This will create a unique opportunity for scientific exchange and collaboration at the highest level: “Aortic Surgery in Bologna – From Neonates to Adults.”
This initiative stems from the collaboration between the Departments of Adult Cardiac Surgery and Pediatric Congenital Adult Cardiac Surgery, with the goal of bringing together international experts in aortic and cardiovascular surgery.

 

We look forward to welcoming many of you, with lots of exciting news!

Prof. Davide Pacini
