Mechanical Circulatory Support, ECMO, and Heart and Lung Transplantation - Meet the Experts
Chairs: Aman Coonar, Kathy Knight, Stephan Schueler
Join the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) Cardiothoracic Section for this in-person symposium, delivered in collaboration with the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery exploring the latest innovations in extra-corporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO) and mechanical circulatory support (MCS).
ECMO and MCS plays an increasingly important role in cardiothoracic surgery with rapid advances and innovations transforming how clinicians manage critically ill patients undergoing cardiac and thoracic surgery. This full-day event will bring together multidisciplinary, national leaders who will lead expert presentations, debates and practical sessions to discuss advances in ECMO and MCS technology and simulation.
