Outcomes of the 11th International Conference on Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems and Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Perfusion

“…Traditionally, the overall objective of the Conference has been and still is to bring together internationally known clinicians, bioengineers, and basic scientists involved in research on pediatric mechanical circulatory support systems and pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass procedures . This year's event was unique in that it was the third time it was held outside the USA and the second time in Europe.…”

Welcome to the 11th International Conference on Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems and Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Perfusion

“…The primary focus of the conference has been the definition of the issues relating to current pediatric MCS and CPB systems, methods and techniques during acute and chronic support, and identifying strategies to solve clinical problems and guide future research. The structure of the conference has not only allowed us to meet our primary objective, but it also has grown by integrating it with wet-labs organized to test leading-edge technology and conduct animal experiments (1,2).…”
