Goals of Residents Case Corner

This virtual case series is aimed at residents to present interesting cases relevant to cardiothoracic surgery. The case will focus on what residents usually experience during their training. All symptoms, patient characteristics and test results are described in detail. Together with the attendees, the best treatment decision is discussed. The solution and clinical course of the case is revealed thereafter, and scientific evidence supporting the decision is discussed.
An expert panel are invited to share their experiences in an interactive, friendly manner.

Instructions to authors

Authors are requested to submit a PowerPoint (see instructions below) and meet the following requirements and guidelines:

  1. Please submit a case that will be interesting to cardiothoracic surgery residents and applicable to what they may experience in their training.
    • Note: Although rare, complex cases are interesting they may not score as high due to the complexities involved and the lack of available evidence that may support management decisions
  2. One of the key objectives of the Case Corner is the inclusion of evidence/guidelines to support management decisions.
    • High scoring abstracts will include scientific evidence/literature that supports management decisions.
    • If evidence is limited – authors should highlight the ‘Gaps in knowledge’
    • Note: Only submitting a list of references on the ‘Scientific evidence/literature’ slide will limit the points the abstract will score.
