Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular

What Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular does

Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular (SBCCV) is a non-profit professional medical society founded in 1969 and headquartered at Rua Afonso Celso, 1178, Vila Mariana, São Paulo, Brazil. It serves approximately 900 cardiovascular surgeons across four membership tiers (Titulares, Especialistas, Associados, and Aspirantes), supported by seven regional offices in major Brazilian state capitals and five scientific departments. The society's mission is to promote the development of cardiovascular surgery and uphold standards for teaching and research in the specialty, including operating an exam/prova platform for specialty certification and publishing the Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery (BJCVS), which is approaching its 40-year anniversary in August 2026.

SBCCV operates a multi-product educational ecosystem built around its membership. Core digital products include SBCCV Play (an exclusive video platform with surgical techniques and Transcatheter Valve Intervention symposium content), Educação SBCCV (a member-only portal aggregating scientific content, events, and courses), and a dedicated course platform at cursos.sbccv.org.br. Supporting infrastructure includes a mobile application distributed via Google Play and Apple App Store, a YouTube channel, WhatsApp-based member support, and a website stack developed and hosted using Firebase Storage on Google Cloud. The society distributes paid courses (Gestão em Cirurgia Cardiovascular, CirurgIA Cardiovascular 5.0, Produção Científica para Acadêmicos), free commemorative Digital Lab webinars tied to the BJCVS 40-year anniversary, annual congresses (51st and 52nd editions), scientific bulletins, and curated access to 6+ international journals.

The business model combines recurring annual membership dues (subscription) with one-time fees for paid courses (R$2,000–R$4,000 per course), congress/event registrations, and complementary freemium content (Digital Lab webinars with official certificates). Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, with the 2026-2027 leadership under President Eduardo Keller Saadi overseeing strategic direction. Payment options include credit card with up to 10 installments without interest, boleto, Pix, PayPal, and Itaú bank integration, tailored to the Brazilian market. The society is governed by an elected board with no outside investors and operates as an independent professional association.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Heart Association (AHA): The largest US cardiovascular organization with a much broader remit (research, advocacy, public health) than SBCCV, but overlaps on scientific publishing, professional education, and international journal partnerships.
• American College of Cardiology (ACC): Larger US cardiology society covering the cardiovascular disease space broadly, including surgical cardiology. Overlaps with SBCCV's domain and competes for cross-border engagement via flagship journals and the annual ACC meeting.
• Associação Médica Brasileira (AMB): Brazil's umbrella medical association that accredits specialty societies and offers cross-specialty CME. Overlaps with SBCCV on certification, congress support, and member services but at the broader medical-profession level.

Direct peers

• Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS): Largest US-based professional society for cardiothoracic surgeons, operating a near-identical model: membership dues, annual conference, peer-reviewed journal (Annals of Thoracic Surgery - one of SBCCV's listed partners), and CME programming. Comparable in mission structure and revenue mix.
• American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS): Long-established US thoracic surgery society with membership model, annual meeting, and the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (a SBCCV-listed partner). The closest analog in scale and longevity.
• Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia (SBC): Brazil's national cardiology society - the directly adjacent specialty society operating in the same country with the same membership/congress/journal/revenue model. Strong internal reference point for SBCCV's potential scale and programming playbook.
• European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS): European equivalent professional society serving cardio-thoracic surgeons with membership, annual meeting, and the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (also a SBCCV-listed partner). Operates the same society-as-CME-platform model in a different geography.

Regional players

• Royal College of Surgeons of England: UK surgical professional body offering membership, certification, and surgical education in a different geography. Comparable institutional function but focused on general surgery rather than cardiovascular, useful as a benchmark for credentialing/examination models.
