<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <div align="left"><p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#0B1665"><b><font size="2">mediAVentures</font></b><font size="2"> is rapidly becoming the leader in medical video, multimedia and live teleconferencing, be it from surgical OR's, cathlabs, patients' homes, or any other place. Our medical background and experienced staff guarantee fullfilment of your highest expectations. </font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#0B1665" size="2"><br> </font></font></p> </div> <div align="left"> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#0B1665"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#0B1665" size="2"> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or <a href="/OLD/Who1.htm">send e-mail</a>, we will be glad to be in touch with you personally. </font></font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#0B1665"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#0B1665" size="2">For a quick overview of how we work: <a href="/OLD/How_we_work.htm">click here</a>.</font></font></p> </div> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000066">Live demonstrations of 6 cases (i.e. <b>Yacoub Operation</b>; Toronto Root (stentless); <b>Ross Operation</b>; <b>David Operation</b>; stenting of the descending <i><b>aorta</b></i>; sizing, complete supraannular implantation technique (<i><b>bioprosthesis</b></i>)), including case presentation prior to surgery, intraoperative transoesophageal assessment, and possibilty of audiovisual "interaction" during <b>HD surgical</b> procedures. Side-by-side dual live images, transmitted by our optical laser system.</font> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000066">Upon completion, participants should be able to: - Master fundamental and advanced <b>surgical techniques of valve repair</b>. - Identify the pathologies on TEE. - Understand the techniques for video-assisted port surgery such as ideal port placement, endoclamp positioning, optimal visualisation, and use of shafted instruments. - Assess indications and procedures for peroperative surgical ablation of <b>atrial fibrillation</b>.<br> This Advanced Course will of course be featuring extensive live surgery demonstrations.</font> Based in Belgium, mediAVentures manages and supports high-end live medical teleconferencing, tele-conferences, medical congresses and live medical transmissions in locations all over Europe. Be it from operating theatres, cath-labs, physiology labs, or even the patient's home, broadcast-quality images and bi-directional sound are transmitted to an auditorium or congress hall, where the audience can directly interact with the "actors" in the field. Also, webcasting of medical content (acting as a medical content-provider) and production of <b>medical video</b>, medical CD-ROM and medical DVD and interactive websites are our speciality. We have a small but pleasant activity as <b>nature movie documentary</b> makers, on high-end video, with stunning underwater video footage using submersible cameras and housings. SCUBA Diving video, underwater pictures, remote operated underwater cameras, birdlife documentaries, you name it - we can do it. Our diving cameramen... Our "Canobeam" optical laser-link (one of five in Europe !) can simultaneously transmit three video and audio channels in the highest quality >>> In most cases, we find that dual image transmission gives superior interaction - the "augmented reality" aspect of side by side images gives the audience a simultaneous view of the detailed technical part (for example, the fluoroscopic or endoscopic images that the operator sees) as well as the surrounding image (for example, the manipulations of instruments and catheters outside the body). In this way, the audience often sees the procedure better than even the operating assistant ! <<< Two simultaneous live transmissions (one from Germany, one from France) during a<b> cardiology </b>meeting (The Netherlands) in 2001 Our specially developed audio-visual equipment offers unprecedented "inside" views of what's *really* important, while minimally disturbing the normal sequence of the procedure. Our directors are <b>medically</b> skilled and our <b>cameramen</b> have years of experience in hospital and OR filming. This gives us a high degree of independence and ensures a fast and accurate image choice. In every location, a dedicated video-control room is built up, designed to the needs of the transmission >>> Furthermore, we have realised long ago that a live <b>video teleconference</b> should not be boring and offer an aesthetically pleasing experience to the viewer. <i> <b>High Definition Video Transmission</b></i> Live digital titling, image superposition and animation are the "finishing touch" to a mediAVentures' supported live event. The same perfectionistic philosophy drives us to pursue full control on acquisition, transmission and projection: after all, it is the final result that counts ! <<< Logo insertion and live name titling adds to the creative design of the meeting Most of our events have been highly praised both by organisers and the audience. Our technical skills and years of experience facilitate the organiser's job substantially. Once committed, we will do whatever is needed to ensure a flawless and smooth audiovisual event. After all, our reputation as Europe's most efficient medical AV producer is at stake ! The audio-visual control room in the auditorium controls every aspect of the live event and conference >> </body>
