EUMS 2018 will be held in Paris from December 5 to 8 and to be organized by La Pitié with new perspectives to mark up the maturity of the MCS (Mechanical Circulatory Support) therapy, 30 years of MCS already!

Several publications report on refractory heart failure patients despite advanced treatments: medication, rythmology. Almost ~30% of patients are not responding to treatment. For these patients population, MCS could become a good alternative to improve care and living conditions.

For all these reason we consider EUMS 2018 in Paris will be the right time and the right place to make some changes we expect to have a positive impact for the patients’ treatment and medical community. We are pleased to welcome cardiologists from CRM and HF in addition to cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists, rehabilitationists and VAD coordinators.

Our final goal for the next decade is to expend the multidisciplinary approach in treating heart failure patients and develop: Heart Failure Device Therapies.

The Health Communication Festival was created 29 years ago. It aims to highlight the health communications of institutions, associations and companies intended for all health professions and patients and the general public.

For the 8th edition, the Francophone Multidisciplinary Congenital Congenital Heart Disease (RFMCC) will take place on November 15 and 16, 2018 in Biarritz, in the heart of the Basque Country.

You will discover a city of character that has kept its identity while opening to the world. To be open to others is the spirit of the RFMCC whose goal is to promote sharing and synergy between various specialties (fetalists, neonatologists, cardiologists, anesthetists, surgeons, resuscitators, ...) involved in the care congenital heart disease. To be open to the world while maintaining our francophone character. This year again the diversity and the richness of the exchanges will be the main words of these days!

The conviviality of these days and the quality of the discussions that shaped the success of the RFMCC, we hope you many to respond to our invitation.

This national congress is entirely dedicated to organs' replacement whether it is cardiac, hepatic, pulmonary or renal. For two days, plenary lectures, workshops and symposia will give all health professionals, medical and paramedical through CAPSO Paramedics, the oppportunity to exchange their experience on specific topics such as simulation, multi-locus -organisms, ethics, multimodal monitoring, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and regional citrate anticoagulation. Many of these sessions will allow those who wish to validate their CPD.

Looking forward to seeing you in Bordeaux!

The 12th edition of the International Symposium on Ablative Techniques (ISCAT) will be held in Paris from October 3 to 5, 2018.
For 20 years, the considerable evolution of the ablative techniques and the fast progress of knowledge in the field, led us to change our program.

The symposium will be entirely dedicated to the "Fibrillating Heart".
All current technical and clinical aspects of the ablative methods of atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias will be developed and a lot of space will be given to video demonstrations.

We plan to increase the space given to electrophysiologists in training with the help of RETAC will join us again for these days.
We are, of course, continuing the sessions reserved for laboratory technicians. Will also be associated with ISCAT, the Rhythmology and Stimulation Group of the French Society of Cardiology and EHRA.
You will certainly remember the success of the previous editions and we will be happy to see you or see you again in Paris in autumn 2018.

Cape to the Mediterranean for the 22nd National Days of G.E.R.S. !

Part of Cardiovascular Rehabilitation, the G.E.R.S. encompasses Sport, and since this year the Prevention branch of the French Society of Cardiology, a major branch of our work through therapeutic education. This year it is the cause of the fight against tobacco and other addictions, more than ever of topicality, which will be put forward during the congress.

La Pitié-Salpêtrière Cardiology Institute of Paris will organize next June to the 9th International PARIS TCS-ECMO Congress!

This Congress will feature the latest evidence on temporary organ support devices for advanced cardiac and respiratory failure.

A specific congress track will be dedicated to Temporary Circulatory Support (TCS) devices, that are increasingly used by interventional cardiologists to treat cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction and end-stage cardiac failure.

The congress will also provide state-of–the-art discussions on the indications and results of extracorporeal gas exchange techniques (venovenous ECMO and ECCO2R) for acute respiratory failure.

Cardiologists and particularly interventional cardiologists, heart surgeons, pulmonologists, intensivists, emergency physicians, anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists, perfusionnists, nurses will have the unique opportunity to discuss with world key opinion leaders all theoretical and practical management aspects of these emerging and very promising technologies

Hope to see you in Paris next June!

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,
For its 12th edition, the "Hypertension Pulmonaire 2018" exchange days will be held in Paris on May 31st and June 1st. As every year, these days will begin with a return to the most memorable communications of the ATS 2018 Congress and will continue with the presentation of a dozen clinical cases selected by the Scientific Committee. You can submit your clinical cases until April 23, 2018. A platform dedicated to the submission of these cases has been set up to facilitate the putting on line of your presentations. The Scientific Committee will be happy to discuss in detail the clinical cases presented with all the actors of pulmonary hypertension in France.

We are waiting for you!

The European Society of CardioVascular Surgery (ESCVS) was founded May 31st, 1951, in the city of Turin, Italy, with statutes in Strasbourg, France, under the name of “Société Européenne de Chirurgie CardioVasculaire”. René Leriche was elected as president R. dos Santos as vice president, G. Arnulf as secretary-general and R. Riveaux as treasurer. The founders and subscribers of these first statutes were 40 physicians representing 11 European countries. The first congress of the society was organized in Strasbourg (oct. 5-6, 1952).

Interventional cardiology was created 40 years ago by Andreas Gruentzig. It has now established itself as the reference discipline in the treatment of coronary, valvular and congenital heart diseases.

The CFCI has been for 20 years faithful to the founding idea of aster, namely the teaching of this discipline through the live broadcast of interventions to a crowd of cardiologists eager for experience and knowledge; loving often remember that little Brazilians were learning first football in the stadium of Maracaña seeing their idols play there.

Thus, as for all previous congresses, the CFCI will broadcast in 2018 a dozen "lives" adapted to the last percutaneous territories to be conquered (CTO, calcified complex lesions, aortic and mitral structural ...) which will soon become more and more interventional procedures. commonplace and customary in all "cathlabs" of the French-speaking world.

This new 2018 edition will take over all the other elements that made this event a success:

• Interactivity and pedagogy
• Expert conferences of international reputation
• Presentations of the latest innovations
• Controversies over controversial topics
• Practical workshops for "young and old"
• Presentation of clinical cases and selected posters with award ceremony
• Sessions dedicated to hospital pharmacists
• Exposure of partners in the equipment and medicine industry

This year the youngest among us will be in the spotlight with sessions dedicated to them. We would love to see them own this convention.

And all this in French, which as Leopold Sédar Senghor said, "is an international language of communication that offers us, at the same time, clarity and richness, precision and nuance".

Your devoted members of the Organizing Committee
