It is with great pleasure that we announce "The 6th European Circulatory Support Summit" taking place from November 30th – December 3rd, at the Eurosites Georges V, Paris.
Given the success of the first 5 editions, our principle goals for the event are to once more facilitate presentations from leading experts as well as encouraging interactive discussions in a convivial dynamic.
Acute heart failure is one of the topic which we decided to treat every other year. ECMO became a worldwide first line circulatory support for emergent patients and full sessions will be dedicated to this topic. Moreover, other short term circulatory support will be integrated in the discussion. Sharing experience with intensivists will help to get a better understanding on how to manage these patients.
Cardiologists will be encouraged to participate to discussion on VAD indications as well as long term patient management. It is indeed obvious that cardiologists become more and more involved in the field of VAD and they have to be active partners of VAD team. The final goal is to understand what cardiologist wait for VAD team and what VAD team wait from cardiologists.
Of course the most recent tria on VAD will be discussed. Long term management regarding occurrence of right heart failure, role of exercise, share care or end of life will be addressed.
The panel discussions prepared by the chairman of expertise remain a central feature of the congress and we will endeavour to post the highlights of these high-level discussions on our website.
As in previous editions of the conference, this year’s meeting will include a poster presentation so that the youngest among us can submit their work.
We would like to thank you in advance for your support, and look forward to seeing you on this next edition in Paris.
