Objectives

The student will have to acquire the knowledge related to the embryological development of the cardiovascular system, the surgical anatomy of the heart and the large vessels and the development of the cardiac surgery discipline over the years up to the most recent therapeutic techniques and approaches

Contents

The teaching of Cardiac Surgery Techniques I, included in the integrated course B3 - "Propaedeutic and Cardiac Surgical Techniques I" aims to illustrate the principles of embryology, surgical anatomy and development of cardiac surgery discipline. Knowledge of these aspects is the fundamental prerequisite for understanding the diagnosis, clinical classification and surgical treatment of cardiac pathologies, both congenital and acquired with particular reference to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Extended Syllabus

Embryology of the cardiovascular system
• Embryogenesis of cardiac cavities;
• Embryogenesis of heart valves;
• Embryogenesis of efferent arterial vessels;
• Embryogenesis of the afferent venous vessels.

Surgical anatomy of the heart
• Topographic anatomy of the heart;
• Macroscopic anatomy of cardiac cavities;
• Architecture of the ventricular myocardium;
• Anatomy of the large arteries;
• Anatomy of the atrioventricular and ventricular-arterial valves;
• Anatomy of the coronary circulation with its anatomical variants;

The development of cardiac surgery
• Cardiac surgery before cardiopulmonary bypass;
• Gibbon and the development of the heart-lung machine;
• Coronary bypass;
• Valve Surgery;
• Cardiac transplantation and mechanical substitutes of ventricular function

Teaching Methods

The course will consist of lectures

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

Depending on training needs, tests can be held initinere to be able to detect the effectiveness of the learning processes and ofteaching.
The final exam consists of an oral test at the end of the course in which it is heldstudent must prove to have mastered the topicsof the course program. The final verification can be supported in oneof the appeals present in the calendar.
In principle, the oral discussion focuses on a trio of topicsin which the student can demonstrate:
• a sufficient but incomplete basic knowledge (vote 18-22 / 30),
• a discreet knowledge with the ability to clearly illustrate thetopics (23-25 / 30),
• good ability to illustrate topics with language properties mastery of the subject (26-28 / 30),
• excellent knowledge of the material moving with ease from asubject to another contextualizing any interconnections and / or differences (28-30 / 30).
Praise is reserved for those who also show particular interest andknowledge of the functional aspects of the professionalizing sector, with high communication skills and independent learning.
