EACTS 2025 in Copenhagen brought together cardiac surgeons from across Europe and beyond for one of the most important global forums in the specialty. The meeting continues to serve as a platform for the exchange of ideas, techniques, and evolving best practices. It offered valuable perspectives on how cardiac surgery is advancing across different healthcare systems and patient populations.
Throughout the congress, conversations centered on practical challenges in mitral valve repair, workflow efficiency, and the continued evolution of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted approaches. Beyond the technical discussions, what stood out most was the collaborative nature of the dialogue. Surgeons openly shared experiences shaped by diverse clinical environments, reinforcing the importance of learning from one another on a global scale.
EACTS underscored a key theme: innovation does not happen in isolation. Progress is driven by understanding where approaches differ, where they align, and how shared insights can help move the field forward. The meeting offered a valuable opportunity to listen, engage, and reflect on how global perspectives continue to shape the future of cardiac surgery.
As the conversation evolves, the insights gained at EACTS help inform how we think about supporting surgeons, refining our portfolio, and staying closely connected to the realities of the operating room worldwide.
