OUTCOMES is a multidisciplinary conference designed to foster exchange and interaction between clinical specialists related to the perioperative management of adult and pediatric cardiac and vascular surgical patients. Leading experts will provide state-of-the-art overviews and lead interactive discussions of research papers. The meeting is held in a structured but informal setting designed to maximize participation and facilitate discussion. On Wednesday, a mini-symposium will highlight the latest innovations and advances in perfusion technology.
