An opportunity for cardiothoracic surgeons, trainees, and allied cardiovascular professionals across South Asia to learn from experienced international faculty, discuss challenging cases, and gain insights into contemporary surgical techniques and decision-making.
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.
A world-class, international event that will explore the latest developments and best practices in coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease, thoracic aortic disease, atrial fibrillation, and the surgical management of heart failure
Join the next installment of the STS/SCA webinar series, Across the Drapes: Intraoperative Disasters and Crises in Cardiac Surgery. Surgery and anesthesiology leaders will discuss strategies to improve collaborative intraoperative management. This second webinar in the series will focus on pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) rupture, cardiac arrest during induction, and TAVR rupture.
A collaborative series presented by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists
The premier annual event in cardiothoracic surgery, unveiling never-before-seen science, techniques, and technology, and creating a forum to build lasting connections with colleagues.
Join Drs. Leonidas Tapias and Michael Krainock as they review the latest clinical data supporting the use of ctDNA for molecular residual disease (MRD) assessment in resectable NSCLC. Learn how MRD helps identify NSCLC patients who remain at high recurrence risk after surgery and detects recurrence before radiographic imaging. The webinar will conclude with a review of real-world case studies, practical considerations for implementing MRD testing in routine practice, and future directions for research.
A cardiothoracic webinar in collaboration with The Society for Heart Failure & Transplantation and The Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeon
In this webinar, a diverse panel of surgeons from Latin America and the United States will analyze in a multidisciplinary manner the surgical, physiological, and life-support challenges in the management of the neonate with complex congenital heart disease. The panel will emphasize intraoperative decision-making and early postoperative hemodynamic and respiratory management, including the role of neonatal ECMO as a rescue strategy and bridge to stability.
