Invitation

Dear Cardiovascular Surgery Family,

In 2026, we continue to uphold the spirit of the “Great Gathering” in the field of cardiovascular surgery, to which we are devoted.

Our national congress, held every two years, has become an indispensable symbol of knowledge and experience sharing, keeping up with current technology, and maintaining professional solidarity.

Cardiovascular surgery is a field that demands immense effort and great dedication.

The heavy responsibility this field brings can only be carried as a team — shoulder to shoulder — with cardiac surgeons, perfusionists, nurses, and industry representatives, coming together as a true “family.”

Indeed, as the cardiovascular surgery family, we work like bees; tirelessly, day and night. That is why we chose “Follow the Bee” as the slogan for the 2025–2027 term.

Once again, we will crown our dedication and unity in the major congress we will hold in 2026.

We are already working to organize our congress in a way that enables the highest level of participation from our members, as always.

The “truly meaningful” international collaborations we have built on global platforms will deepen even further in 2026. Our 19th National Congress will strengthen its international identity through the Mediterranean Cardiovascular Conference.

This grand gathering will emphasize the holistic nature of our profession, encompassing both cardiovascular surgery and interventional approaches.

With up-to-date knowledge, experience sharing, and technological developments, it will offer every participant an opportunity for professional renewal.

Together with our perfusionist, nursing, and industry partners, we will once again demonstrate that we are a larger, happier, more collaborative, and rapidly developing family.

Our congress, which will be held on 26–29 November 2026, will illuminate our future by drawing inspiration from the long-standing values of the TSCVS National Congresses.

Follow the Bee, and mark 26–29 November 2026 on your calendar.

Follow the Bee, prepare your scientific contributions, and plan your travel.

As always, stay well.

President, Turkish Society of Cardiovascular Surgery
