During this webinar, members of the STS Task Force on Robotic Cardiac Surgery will describe surgical techniques and strategies for the management of complex robotic mitral valve disease, including mitral annular calcification (MAC), systolic anterior motion (SAM), and bileaflet Barlow’s disease. Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for approaching these challenging pathologies and for expanding the range of mitral cases they can confidently treat with a robotic platform.
Gain comprehensive insight about the multidisciplinary team’s role in guiding patients with resectable gastroesophageal junction cancer through the full course of care, including surgery, neoadjuvant, and adjuvant treatment. Faculty will discuss how to establish clear patient expectations, review recent trial data and surgical outcomes (including perspectives on overall survival results from CheckMate 577 and Matterhorn), and operating after neoadjuvant immunotherapy and targeted therapies through evidence-based best practices.
A diverse panel of surgeons from Latin America and the United States will explore three different techniques of minimally invasive thymectomy, highlighting technical pearls and challenges.
Presented in Spanish (and some Portuguese) with English subtitles

A world-class, international event that will explore the latest developments and best practices in coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease, thoracic aortic disease, atrial fibrillation, and the surgical management of heart failure
Join the next installment of the STS/SCA webinar series, Across the Drapes: Intraoperative Disasters and Crises in Cardiac Surgery. Surgery and anesthesiology leaders will discuss strategies to improve collaborative intraoperative management. This second webinar in the series will focus on pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) rupture, cardiac arrest during induction, and TAVR rupture.
A collaborative series presented by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists
The premier annual event in cardiothoracic surgery, unveiling never-before-seen science, techniques, and technology, and creating a forum to build lasting connections with colleagues.
Best Practices for Cardiothoracic Surgery is a two-day virtual event that provides coders, surgeons, and billing professionals with the latest updates to CPT and physician coding and reimbursement, which affect cardiothoracic surgical practices.
This 30-minute session expands on the STS Roadmap to Mobile Lung Cancer Screenings and examines the intricacies of mobile cancer screening units and how they operate. The event is open to all interested in creating or expanding a mobile cancer screening initiative at their institution.
