Guidelines Webinar: EACTS/STS/AATS Guidelines on Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support in Adult Cardiac Surgery

Join us for an exclusive webinar introducing the new joint EACTS/STS/AATS Guidelines on temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) in adult cardiac surgery. Through real-world case discussions, step-by-step clinical algorithms, and expert commentary, this interactive session will bring the latest evidence-based recommendations to life. Learn how to apply the guidelines in your daily practice—from patient selection and timing, to device choice, escalation strategies, perioperative pathways, and ICU coordination. Discover how guideline-driven use of tMCS can enhance outcomes, reduce complications, and optimize recovery in even the most complex surgical scenarios. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage directly with the authors and discuss practical implementation strategies that can transform perioperative care.
