Impact of a Unique International Conference on Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support and Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Perfusion Research

Abstract

There is no question that the International Conference on Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems and Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Perfusion is a unique event that has had a significant impact on the treatment of neonatal, infantile, and pediatric cardiopulmonary patients around the globe since 2005. This annual event will continue as long as there is a need to fill the gap for underserved patient population. It will also continue to recognize promising young investigators based on their full manuscripts for young investigator awards.

Welcome to the Thirteen International Conference on Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems and Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Perfusion

“…Artificial Organs is the official journal of the International Conference on Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems & Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Perfusion and The International Society for Pediatric Mechanical Cardiopulmonary Support (ISPMCS) https://www.ispmcs.org/annual-conference. Artificial Organs is one of the most influential journals on underserved pediatric cardiovascular research around the globe . To date, more than 460 peer‐reviewed publications, including original articles, editorials, special reports, letters, and case reports have been published in Artificial Organs by the participants of the conference during the past 12 years .…”

Outcomes of the 10th International Conference on Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems and Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Perfusion

“…Primarily, we focus to explicitly describe the problems with current pediatric mechanical circulatory support systems, methods, and techniques during acute and chronic support, and to suggest solutions and future directions for research. Year after year, we not only maintain our primary objective, but also improve by adding several wet‐labs with cutting‐edge new devices along with in vivo experiments .…”

“…This unique event has become not only the international forum to share the latest developments in terms of devices and techniques on pediatric CPB and MCS, but also to start new national and international collaborations in this underserved research area during the past decade . To date, more than 2400 leading international scholars from 33 countries have participated in the past 10 events.…”

International Society for Pediatric Mechanical Cardiopulmonary Support Selects Artificial Organs as Its Official Journal

“…We are pleased to announce this formal publishing relationship. Over the last 4 years, the membership of the ISPMCS has been a valuable and frequent contributor to the journal as Artificial Organs has been the vehicle for publication of abstracts and selected peer‐reivewed papers presented at the Annual Congress of the ISPMCS. We have published 104 papers in the annual Special Issues dedicated to this congress—in addition to the abstracts and the papers that were published in regular issues of the journal.…”
