Join us for the first installment of the STS/SCA webinar series, Across the Drapes: Multidisciplinary Management in Thoracic Aortic Surgery. In this webinar, the multidisciplinary panel will discuss the management of two cases from the perspective of both cardiac anesthesiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons. The discussion will entail preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative components of the cases and the interdisciplinary team that cares for these complex patients.
