Submit your work for consideration and the opportunity to present alongside experts from around the globe.

Important! The STS Coronary Conference is excited to partner with the Society’s open-access journal, Annals of Thoracic Surgery Short Reports, featuring research from the Coronary Conference. Annals Short Reports is now indexed in PubMed Central, meaning published research will be viewable in standard PubMed literature searches. Benefits to authors submitting their STS Coronary Conference research to Annals Short Reports are as follows: 

  • Expedited peer review and online publication of accepted research 

  • Waived open-access article processing charges for select articles, and/or 50% reduced fees for STS Members (corresponding author must be STS Member)

  • Abstract authors may opt-in or opt-out of full manuscript submission to Annals of Thoracic Surgery Short Reports
