9th OPCAB Contest

Announcement of the 18th Japanese Society of Coronary Artery Surgery Special Project "9th OPCAB Contest"

Dry Lab allows you to train more frequently and on a daily basis than Wet Lab, so it is especially useful for young teachers who need practice time. Therefore, EBM has developed the OPCAB anastomosis technique training device BEAT and the coronary artery model YOUCAN to create an environment where anastomosis training can be performed.

In this contest, multiple judges will score one anastomosis under on-beat conditions using BEAT-S1 and YOUCAN, and the winners will be officially recognized by the academic society. Additionally, all participating teachers will receive feedback from the CFD analysis report of the anastomosis within two weeks.

Thank you very much for your participation.
