THE SUMMIT
The Evolution of Cardiac Surgery Is Changing How Procedures Are Performed.
The Houston Methodist 14th Annual Re-Evolution Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Summit 2026 presents advanced educational content focused on contemporary approaches to minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery.
International faculty address the procedural, technical, clinical, and operational considerations involved in mitral valve surgery, aortic valve intervention, robotic platforms, total endoscopic approaches, structural heart therapies, and atrial fibrillation surgery.
The program also examines case selection, surgical complications, advanced imaging, enhanced recovery pathways, training, and emerging technologies such as AI-enhanced cardiac operating rooms.
SURGICAL DECISION-MAKING
The Approach Matters. So Does Patient Selection.
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery extends beyond smaller incisions. Appropriate procedure selection, operative strategy, imaging, technical expertise, and complication management remain central to advanced surgical practice.
Choosing the Right Approach
When to consider minimally invasive surgery, when to avoid it, and how patient-specific factors affect procedure selection.
Refining Operative Techniques
Endoscopic mitral repair, robotic surgery, mini-thoracotomy AVR, annular enlargement, and complex re-operations.
Surgical vs Transcatheter
TAVR/TAVI versus SAVR, evolving structural heart therapies, and treatment strategies for younger patients.
Improving Surgical Systems
Robotic program development, advanced imaging, ERAS pathways, mentorship, and technology integration.
