STS Will Host First-of-Its-Kind Coronary Conference in Ottawa

For cardiothoracic surgical professionals seeking advanced training in state-of-the art coronary techniques, The Society of Thoracic Surgeons is holding the 2022 STS Coronary Conference on June 4–5 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This conference will connect attendees with advanced educational content on the latest techniques for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The agenda will feature didactic presentations, “How I Do It” video sessions, practical tips and tricks, and case-based panel discussions.

"This is the first STS conference entirely dedicated to advanced coronary artery surgery," said program director Marc Ruel, MD, MPH, FRCSC, from the University of Ottawa Heart Institute in Ontario, Canada. "It comes at the right time for cardiac surgeons, as so many new advances have taken place in coronary surgery over the last few years. The STS Coronary Conference will be very interactive and provide surgeons and trainees with practical tips and tools to enhance their skills, knowledge, and the overall care of their patients with coronary artery disease."

Presented by experts from around the globe, session topics will focus on the current state of revascularization, conduit selection and harvest, graft configuration, off- and on-pump CABG, endarterectomy, low ejection fraction, minimally invasive CABG, myocardial revascularization, CABG and fractional flow reserve, and postoperative medical therapy.
