Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are proud and honored to announce the organization of the 2nd International Symposium on Minimal Invasive Extra-Corporeal Technologies (MiECT), which will be held in the historic City of Athens, a city that stands for more than 3000 years as the symbol of civilization, democracy, philosophy and culture.

The Symposium is organized by the Minimal invasive Extra-Corporeal Technologies international Society (MiECTiS), which was founded during the 1st MiECT International Symposium in Thessaloniki on June 2014.

We aim to introduce a multidisciplinary, up-to-date Scientific Program, in order to highlight this promising technology to both clinical practice and industry. Cardiothoracic Surgeons, Perfusionists, Cardiac Anesthesiologists and Industry Representatives are invited to create an International Forum for exchanging ideas, having as an ultimate goal to further progress this technology in clinical application and research.

We believe that this Symposium will prove to be a unique opportunity to meet each other, exchange views on Minimal invasive Extra-Corporeal Circulation (MiECC) and try to advance penetration of this technology to the scientific community. Besides, Athens, the host city, offers a spectacular combination of ancient and contemporary touristic attractions as well as a metropolitan lifestyle. Athens will be ready to welcome the 2nd MiECT Symposium and its Delegates and reward us with a memorable event.

We invite you all to be part of this event and the promising future of this technology.
