Broaden your understanding of extracorporeal circulation and new technologies for its management and control" 

The Surgical Approach for the Repair of the Structures of the Aorta to prevent internal bleeding occurs in most cases in the emergency room, however, with the advancement of techniques in the last 20 years, in addition to open surgery, it is also possible to use less invasive methods when attending them, as well as to establish a previous study of the patient to avoid further damage and to reach cases of extreme alertness.

The specialist must know how to take the patient in the best conditions to surgery through preoperative optimization and continue with monitoring in the operating room. To carry out a study of post-surgical complications in the different systems and to learn how to have strategies aimed at reducing blood product transfusions to a minimum. To this end, this program proposes the study of perioperative care in depth, in order to avoid complications and reduce mortality.

Likewise, this refresher program is based on the Anatomy and Physiology of the Aortic Root, given its involvement in Aortic Valve Function and its importance in Aortic Valve Preservation Techniques. Then, the main Pathologies of the Aortic Artery by segments and the Acute Aortic Syndrome with its main Surgical Options and the different options of Percutaneous Treatment will be discussed.    

Simultaneously, the surgeon must understand the new technologies available for the management and control of Extracorporeal Circulation as a whole and apply them efficiently in the operating room. All this, through an avant-garde teaching methodology implemented by TECH, aware of the difficulty that the specialist has when taking on a degree of these characteristics, which is why it offers it 100% online. 

This means that there are neither fixed classes nor fixed schedules, being the specialist themselves the one who decides where and how to face the teaching load. The contents are available 24 hours a day from day one from any device with an internet connection, and can even be downloaded for later offline consultation. 

It updates the knowledge of all perioperative measures and strategies to be taken into account in surgical patients, for a better recovery, avoid complications and reduce mortality"   

The Postgraduate diploma in Aortic Surgery contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market The most important features include:  

• Practical cases presented by experts in Cardiac Surgery 
• The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions for experts and individual reflection work 
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

In this program you will learn in depth about the main pathologies of the Aortic Artery and the Acute Aortic Syndrome with its main surgical options" 

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

TECH's study system will allow you to organize your time and learning pace, adapting it to your schedule"
