I'm glad you guys liked it. I thought it was a great read and it's very interesting researching the backgrounds of the surgeons and centres where they worked….

Terry, I've been around although have had nothing to add until now.

The surgeon leading the first 'expert' meeting is PD Dr. med. Joachim Photiadis.

Dr Photiadis is the director of The Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin……..

"We at the Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin aim to provide not only our young patients and their parents, but also our adolescent and adult patients, the best possible advice and treatment under one roof. The founding of an independent, full-spectrum Department of Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease/Pediatric Cardiac Surgery with its own head physician at the Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin fulfils this commitment and is one of the first departments of its type in Germany. However, in terms of specialization, we have gone one step further. For instance, we also employ specialized anesthetists, cardiotechnicians and surgical nurses.
We have a range of specialists in our ranks: some deal primarily with newborns, others have specialized in the reconstruction of heart valves or in the treatment of adults with congenital heart defects. In case of severely impaired cardiac function, our hospital offers unrivalled expertise and experience with artificial heart systems and transplantation."
