Welcome Address

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great honour and pleasure to invite you all to Leicester, to attend the 2017 Annual Meeting of ECHSA, the European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association!

ECHSA is celebrating its 25th Anniversary and this meeting will be open also to non-members, creating a platform for everyone involved in the care of patients with Congenital Heart lesions to participate and exchange experiences - cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthetists, intensivists, pathologists, researchers, perfusionists, nurses and technicians, are all invited and most welcome.

The scientific programme will include, in keeping with ECHSA’s long tradition, “best and worst” case presentations, surgical video sessions, advanced research discussions, industry workshops and special invited lectures. Carl Backer, President to our sister American organization, the Congenital Heart Surgeons Society (CHSS), and Robert Anderson, the distinguished cardiac morphologist from the UK, will be our guest lecturers this year.

The program includes the best abstracts submitted by ECHSA Members as well as non-members for oral, video, or poster presentation, selected on merit by our Program Committee. We anticipate a great forum for scientific discussion!

The venue of the meeting will be Leicester, a cosmopolitan city in UK, rich in history and architecture, also prized for its environment. Good restaurants, first class shopping and a welcoming atmosphere will allow you to leisure and enjoy some free time in a truly unforgettable experience. Also, Leicester is easy to reach by any of 4 surrounding airports – East Midlands-Nottingham, Birmingham, London Luton and London Heathrow, all connected with international flights and easy to access.

A special Social Programme is available for delegates and accompanying persons with many attractions not to be missed!

We look very much forward to welcoming you in Leicester for a great scientific meeting and warm social interactions on 19th and 20th of May 2017.

We all foresee a memorable, great event.

ECHSA History

Congenital Cardiac Database History

Many international professional medical societies are addressing the value of clinical databases and wrestling with the problems of coding, validation, analysis and distribution of data. Congenital heart disease management has many features which make it very suitable for the development of an integrated database; it is highly specialised, carried out in limited well-defined environments and has relatively clear follow-up endpoints. However, it also has some important specific difficulties, the most important of which is the complexity and wide variability of existing coding systems.

In 1990, a group of like-minded friends, all cardiac surgeons, who now form the European Heart Surgeons Association (ECHSA) met to discuss clinical results. We were and remain of the view that data should be shared, open and honest. Co-operation was thought to be as important as competition in developing the future of the specialty. In this spirit, we decided to collect data on all the patients upon whom we operated; thus the European Congenital Heart Defects Database (ECHDD) was born, which today acts as the ECHSA Congenital Database and collects the data from 189 hospitals from 50 countries, while 371 hospitals from 77 countries already registered in the Database and have access to the results of over 235 000 cardiac procedures.

Social Event

Conference Dinner | EMPIRE HALL

Friday, May 19th, 2017Venue: EMPIRE HALLDress code: Smart casuala coach will depart from the main entrance of the Mercure Leicester the grand hotel at 8pmAvailable only to delegates who have purchased the relevant ticket for the dinner

the empire hall is a historic landmark of Leicester and is only a 10 min drive from the meeting venue. the empire hall is situated within the golden Mile of the city centre, located within easy reach by railway and motorway links. the space is mostly used for social functions as a venue for various weddings, corporate events as well as charities. the hall that they have proposed is the barnabas hall which can fit up to 250 guests and provides a large parking space. a former church built in 1886, a grade ii listed building from the victorian period. Like most victorian churches, it is in the ‘gothic revival’ style.the st barnabas’ hall is particularly unusual in having timber arches springing from the stone pillars of the nave and in being lit, high in the roof, from clerestory windows which are square and continuous. in 2011 the church buildings were offered for sale and the former vicarage was taken over by the school. in 2015, the church itself became a banqueting hall, thus preserving the building as a local landmark.

Bradgate Park and King Richard III Visiting Centre

Saturday, May 20th 2017

the bradgate Park is a 30-minute drive from the meeting venue and is a public park in charnwood Forest, in Leices-tershire, england, northwest of Leicester.if you do not like tramping over the hills, the lower part of the Park is easily accessible with a tarmac driveway run-ning through the middle that is mainly traffic-free and suit-able for wheelchairs and pushchairs. the king richard iii visiting centre is a stunning victorian gothic building in the heart of Leicester’s old town. using great storytelling, beautiful design and 21st century tech-nology, the centre tells the fascinating and moving story of the king’s life and death, and reveals one of the greatest archaeological detective stories ever told.
