The much-anticipated 2nd Eastern India Aortic Conclave was held at Narayana Health‘s RN Tagore Hospital in Mukundapur from May 24–26, 2024. Leading medical professionals and experts convened for this historic three-day conference to talk about and present the most recent developments in aortic surgery, technology, and interventions. For the more than 200 clinicians, researchers, and business executives who went, it turned out to be a life-changing experience.

The conference offered visitors a rare opportunity to acquire insights from the leading authorities in the field of Aorta-related operations and procedures, with a distinguished lineup of speakers and panelists from internationally recognized institutions.

The interactive workshop sessions, which gave participants first-hand exposure to cutting-edge surgical techniques and procedures, were one of the event’s standout attractions. These seminars, which were taught by eminent worldwide academics, provided a forum for knowledge sharing, skill development, and group learning while encouraging an innovative and high-achieving culture.

Apart from the workshops, the conclave included state-of-the-art interventional technology that has the potential to transform the way aortic disease is diagnosed and treated. Insightful minimally invasive procedures and cutting-edge imaging modalities were just a few of the cutting-edge cardiovascular interventions that participants got to see live.

A team of highly experienced doctors including Dr. Atanu Saha and Dr. Lalit Kapoor, both Senior Consultants in Cardiac Surgery, Dr. Pradeep Narayana, Chief Scientific Officer and Senior Consultant, Cardiac Surgery-Adult, Dr. Shuvro H Roy Choudhury, the Director & Clinical Lead in Interventional Radiology, and Dr. Arup Kumar Ghosh, a Senior Consultant in Cardiac Surgery – Adult, contributed their opinions and knowledge to this historic occasion, highlighting the revolutionary developments in aortic surgery and intervention.

Because the aorta is the major artery that pumps blood from the heart to the rest of the body, it plays a crucial function in cardiovascular medicine. For this reason, aorta-related surgery is a critical area of study. If not treated swiftly and properly, conditions such as aortic aneurysms, dissections, and occlusions can become life-threatening. A dedicated platform for medical experts to stay up to speed on the newest surgical procedures, technology breakthroughs, and best practices in managing aortic illnesses is provided by conferences such as the Eastern India Aortic Conclave. These meetings promote cooperation, creativity, and a better comprehension of the intricacies of aortic surgery, which eventually improves patient outcomes.

A remarkable number of people showed up for the event—surgeons, cardiologists, researchers, and business leaders, among others—all keen to learn and impart their knowledge. The seminars’ collaborative atmosphere and high degree of participation demonstrated the medical community’s dedication to patient care innovation and ongoing development.
