David H. Adams: 2023 AATS Mitral Conclave - Highlights and Insights

Randolph Martin, MD, discusses the 2023 AATS Mitral Conclave with Co-Program Director, David Adams, MD. Over 900 registrants from over 50 countries came together to share best practices for taking care of patients with mitral valve disease.

Here, Dr. Adams discusses the importance of fellowship and friendship within the field, and provides a platform for the next generation of rising stars. Topics included the impact of Carpentier’s early days of mitral valve repair and the energy, enthusiasm and dedication that is the foundation of the field of mitral valve repair.

As the field expands with transcatheter therapies, imaging, and the treatment of atrial fibrillation – this meeting underlines the importance of innovation to benefit patients. Whether one is at the beginning of their journey in mitral valve disease or at the very advanced level, there’s always something to learn when surgeons get together in-person, away from distractions to talk and work together.

About the AATS Mitral Conclave: David H. Adams, MD, and Anelechi C. Anyanwu, MD, serve as the Program Directors of the AATS Mitral Conclave – a meeting that Dr. Adams created with the American Association for Thoracic Surgery in 2011. The biennial meeting brings the world’s leading experts together to examine all aspects of mitral valve disease, associated conditions, and treatment. The meeting featured more than 350 presentations, 40 focused breakout or lunch sessions, combined with four main plenary sessions – with over 900 attendees from 52 countries.
