A Message from the ISMICS President

Nirav C. Patel, MD

Every technique we refine, every paper we publish, every conversation at a meeting like Edinburgh — it all traces back to a patient recovering faster, with less pain, and going home sooner.

This society has always been defined by people like you — surgeons, innovators, and collaborators who push the boundaries of minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery for the benefit of patients everywhere.

It is an honor to serve as your President.

What we do together matters. And right now, ISMICS is in a strong position to do more of it — with a passionate community, a renewed focus on execution, and a new management partner built specifically for societies like ours. I'm grateful for your trust and energized by what's ahead.

With gratitude,

Nirav Patel, MD
President, ISMICS
