| Abstract: | Video conferencing (VC) is now a commonly used tool within the medical field worldwide. This technique, in a modified format, is ideal for viewing and discussing live cases to show live procedural interventions during a conference. We recently organised a cardiology subspecialty conference in Malta, and used VC to transmit audio and video from the theatre Cardiac Catheterisation Suite (CCS), on Level -1 of Mater Dei Hospital (MDH) at Tal-Qroqq, Msida to the conference venue at the Mediterranean Conference Centre (MCC) in Valletta, Malta, a distance of 4km (figure1), with audio only back to the theatre for the purpose of live discussion. |
