Endoscopic Cardiac Surgeons Club

ECS Club promotes the global awareness of the advantages of endoscopic cardiac surgery to patients, surgeons and industry partners. One of our main goals is to increase the safe and wider adoption of endoscopic techniques in cardiac surgery and drive improvements in short and long term outcomes for cardiac patients using endoscopic surgery.

Our Vision

ECS CLUB

Our Vision is to help cardiac surgery become a speciality where an endoscope is used more widely to improve surgical performance and improve patient outcomes. We believe that the organisation should be a not for profit organisation. We also believe that membership of the organisation will remain free to nominated and full members.
