The latest techniques and management strategies in cardiovascular and thoracic critical care and enhanced recovery after surgery for the entire care team.
This STS South Asia webinar will bring together experienced aortic surgeons to discuss contemporary approaches to aortic root pathology, with a focus on practical decision-making in complex clinical scenarios. The discussion will cover indications for aortic root replacement, valve-sparing root replacement, the Bentall procedure, and strategies for challenging anatomical and intraoperative situations.
This webinar will explore how circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and minimal residual disease (MRD) can inform care across perioperative lung cancer care. Faculty will discuss practical approaches to ctDNA sampling before and after surgery, including its integration with imaging, and examine how MRD findings may guide conversations about treatment escalation, de-escalation, and clinical trial referral.
