The conference, organized by the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City (UMPH), in collaboration with the Vietnam Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, the Vietnam National Association of Cardiology and Yonsei University (Korea), will take place over 2 days, July 11-12, in Ho Chi Minh City. The conference brings together leading domestic and foreign experts to share medical advances, update new techniques, and aim to develop the first professional recommendations in Vietnam for this technique.
TAVI is currently considered the preferred treatment option for elderly patients or patients with multiple comorbidities who are not suitable for open heart surgery. Worldwide , many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of this method, while continuously recording improvements in valve design, implementation techniques and expanded indications.
In Vietnam, TAVI has been initially implemented in a number of major centers, but there are still no unified treatment guidelines and the number of cases performed is limited. In this context, the Vietnam Valves 2025 Conference is expected to contribute to forming a solid professional foundation, aiming to implement TAVI in a synchronous, safe and effective manner in clinical practice in Vietnam.
The conference is aimed at doctors specializing in interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, internal cardiology, diagnostic imaging, anesthesiology, interventional nursing and interested medical staff.
Associate Professor - Doctor - Doctor Nguyen Hoang Bac, Director of University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, commented: "Vietnam Valves 2025 is the first conference to gather many experts on TAVI technique - an important milestone in the strategy of developing interventional cardiology in Vietnam".
Sharing the same view, Associate Professor - Doctor - Physician Nguyen Hoang Dinh, Deputy Director of the hospital, said: "The conference is not only an update, but also a multi-specialty - multi-generational connection point, to standardize heart valve treatment, aiming at patients".
