Plan to attend this installment of the STS/SCA Webinar Series, Across the Drapes: Multidisciplinary Management in Esophagectomy. Leaders in both surgery and anesthesiology will discuss preoperative and intraoperative management of esophagectomy and its complications, with the goal of optimizing intraoperative management between surgeons and anesthesiologists.
A collaborative series presented by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA)
During this webinar, an expert panel will focus on different methods of cannulation including: open vs. percutaneous cannulation; perfusion strategies (including when bicaval cannulation is needed); and examination of different methods of myocardial protection including transthoracic aortic cross-clamping and endo-balloon. The session is relevant for cardiac surgeons and trainees at all experience levels, as well as members of robotic cardiac teams interested in understanding basic techniques relevant to robotic cardiac surgery and advanced methods used in more complex scenarios.
This Latin Heart Rounds collaboration between the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) will feature an international panel of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons from Latin America, Europe, and the United States speaking about the current management of syndromic aortic disease. The panel will discuss:
Best Practices for Cardiothoracic Surgery is a two-day virtual event that provides coders, surgeons, and billing professionals with the latest updates to CPT and physician coding and reimbursement, which affect cardiothoracic surgical practices.
Hear the pros and cons from surgeons who have transitioned from training to their first job at the same institution, and at a different institution. Panelists will also discuss what role your division chief plays during this important transition.

In this webinar, experts discuss insights into the management of adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD). The panelists will discuss the current management landscape for these patients, as well as provide a broad glimpse into how the field is evolving. Topics include: common lesions encountered by both adult and pediatric cardiac surgeons, how ACHD cases are reported, and how critical care issues may impact the management of this patient population.
