Greeting Remarks
To all my good friends and colleagues,

This year’s only meeting of our Society will take place at
the wonderful city of Bologna which has an immense
historical importance, since it houses the oldest University
in Europe – it is said to date back to 1088, and one of the
earliest medical schools together with the most notably
Schola Medica Salernitana at Salerno in southern Italy,
which opened in the 9th century.
Antonio Loforte, who worked with me in Berlin for a few
years, has invited us to join him since he was elected to
host the 2019 Congress of the International Society for
Mechanical Support (ISMCS) in Bologna. Antonio
suggested that we add an Expert Forum on Heart Failure
Surgery. This, I think is a most welcome opportunity not
only to highlight and add some of our special interesting
topics to the program but also to enjoy the company of
many MCS friends in this great hospitable city.

Mechanical circulatory support for heart failure has been one of our main fields of
introduction since 1987 when we performed the first successful bridge-to-transplant
procedure in Germany using Bücherl’s total artificial heart. This was then followed by the
initiation of the Berlin Heart Company in 1988, which has been the only of its kind coming
from Europe and with whom we developed the VAD systems for children of any age and size.
The developed Berlin Heart VAD device for children remains the only available pediatric
pump worldwide. Berlin is where we also implanted the first-ever rotational flow VAD
worldwide, the DeBakey Micromed pump, in 1998. This is among the many other “firsts”
such as the first explantation of a VAD after full cardiac recovery in 1995.

I am grateful to Antonio Loforte and wish him and us much success with fruitful new insights
and a very pleasant stay in this marvelous city. Likewise, I want to thank Eva Javier Delmo,
without whom our Symposium would not be possible. I want to express my high appreciation
to Jürgen Ennker for his long-term presidency and continuous support to our goals.

All the best,

Roland Hetzer
Honorary President
Greeting Remarks
Dear Colleagues, dear Friends, dear Professor Hetzer,

It is a great privilege for me to invite you to the 17th
Expert Forum of the Roland Hetzer International
Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery Society.

Starting October 2011 with the first Expert Forum in
Lisbon, our symposia have been held worldwide, not only
in Europe but also in South and North America, several
times Asia and last year (2018) in Moscow, incorporated in
the Annual Meeting of the Asian Society for
Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery. These reflect the high
esteem and recognition garnered by our Society and its
Symposia in the scientific world.

Our 17th Expert Forum was originally planned in honor of
the 75th birthday of Prof. Hetzer to take place during
Springtime 2019 in the ever-fascinating and amazing
capital city, Berlin.
The city is where Professor Hetzer is living and has been taking care of his patients and
coworkers since he inaugurated and started the Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin in 1986, 33
years ago. Under his steering leadership more than 100,000 cardiothorcic and vascular
surgical cases including more than 76,000 open heart operations using heart and lung
machine were performed. The institution became world famous and a haven for patients
seeking treatment for the entire spectrum and complete range of cardiovascular illnesses.
During the early years, I had the honor of being part of his team. Being trained by him, I recall
that we received hundreds of patients rejected elsewhere from life-saving therapy. He never
sent away any suffering human being. There is neither no place nor time to honor all his
accomplishments.

The making of the Roland Hetzer International Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery Society,
in this context, paved the way to recognize and acknowledge these enormous achievements.
To those who are interested in augmenting their scientific aspirations on top of personal
experience, I can only recommend the editorial of our general secretary in HSR Proceedings
in Intensive Care and Cardiovascular Anesthesia 2011;3 ( 3) 153-156.

As the spring session planned had been postponed, we have now the chance to enjoy the
meeting in the lively historical capital city of the north Italian region Emilia-Romagna,
Bologna. Taking place in conjunction with 27th Annual Meeting of the International Society
for Mechanical Circulatory Support, we will not only have the chance to listen to the lectures
of this well- respected meeting, but also to the very interesting proceedings of the RHICS
17th Expert Forum on „Heart Failure Surgical Options“, which will be given by specialized and
internationally well-renowned members of the RHICS and ist friends.

We highly appreciate your participation in our Bologna meeting, thereby making it another
success, not only scientifically but also by joining again as longtime friends and also as
highly-regarded colleagues.

Looking forward to meeting you there in Bologna!

Jürgen Ennker
President
Greeting Remarks
Dear colleagues, guests and friends,

The RHICS 17th Expert Forum
comes together in the beautiful
city of Bologna.

Once again, our distinguished
organizers have been able to put
together a superb program. We
are extremely thankful to all
those who have helped make the
RHICS such an outstanding
venue for up- to- date views and
discussions in the field of
cardiovascular medicine.

The circle of international experts will again debate the latest developments in our specialty.
Seventeen meetings have united and strengthened our international circle of dedicated
friends. Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it is indeed very impressive to see how
among those who traveled through the German Heart Center in Berlin a band of experts
arose , who continue to pull down walls and open up new perspectives in medicine.

Let us express our deep gratitude to the mentors, leaders, experts and good friends and use
this meeting to sharpen our focus on the future of cardiovascular science.

Let us thank our hosts for their gracious invitation and the organizers for their great work.
And let us enjoy the beauty of Bologna, the Science, and Friendship.

Best wishes,

Matthias Loebe

To honor the mentorship, leadership and contributions of Prof. Dr. Roland Hetzer in the field
of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, the Roland Hetzer International Cardiothoracic and
Vascular Surgery Society (RHICS) was founded by cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons who
have trained and worked under Prof. Hetzer, including former students, present staff and
colleagues from all over the world. The exclusive objectives of the RHICS are:

  1. to provide a forum for expert discussion on relevant cardiothoracic issues, to set up
     guidelines based on conclusions derived from this expert opinion forum

  2. to promote cardiothoracic surgical education skills from beyond standardized and
     statistical (experience-based) medicine to a patient-based medicine wherein
     treatment approaches are individualized and personalized, and specific high-quality
     treatment is tailored to the patients’ unique pathology so as to give them an optimal
     quality of life, after surgery
  3. to promote continuing medical education through the holding of regular symposia
     and meetings and the continuance of clinical and experimental research efforts and
     the publication of the results in scientific journals, and

  4. to foster international collaboration and cooperation in clinical practice and
     scientific research in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery and associated fields.

The RHICS thus hopes to continue the legacy of Prof. Hetzer.

After its conception (by Drs. Delmo Walter, Ennker and Loebe) on January 29, 2010 and
tremendous concerted efforts by Drs. Gerhard Ziemer, Harald Hausmann, Michele Musci,
Thomas Krabatsch, Charles Yankah, Ralf Sodian, Luc Tambeur, Hermann Kuppe and Boris
Nasseri, the RHICS was legally founded on May 20, 2011 at 17:30, in the presence of its
lawyer, Dr. Maren Bedau, and the Honorary President himself, Prof. Roland Hetzer.

The Constitution was signed by Drs. Ziemer, Ennker, Hausmann, Delmo Walter, Musci, Nasseri
and Kuppe with distant attendance of M. Loebe (via teleconference from Houston, Texas,
USA), which took place at the Deutsches Herzzentrum Library.

The RHICS Society was formally inaugurated on June 13, 2011 at the Hotel Intercontinental
Berlin. It is now recognized by the German Tax Authorities as a non-profit, tax-exempted
scientific organization.
