6th MiECT Symposium

The 6^th MiECT Symposium, which is the leading event organised by the Minimal invasive ExtraCorporeal Technologies international Society (MiECTiS), is scheduled for December 4th-5th, 2026 in Thessaloniki, Greece (www.miectis.org).

The ultimate goal of the Meeting is to create a multidisciplinary forum of experts on MiECT (perfusionists, cardiac surgeons and anesthesiologists) who will present and discuss the best available evidence, knowledge and latest news on the field along with the industry and the over-web participating scientific community. Interaction between all disciplines of MiECT technology with the industry is essential.

The event will be transmitted live by CTSNet.

Key topics include:

• pathophysiology of CPB
• optimized perfusion circuits
• MiECC strategy
• perfusion physiology
• microcirculation
• surgical considerations
• anesthetic strategies
• coagulation management
• monitoring
• modularity

During the meeting there will be short presentations (7 mins) on the latest advancements on MiECC technology, while discussion between the experts in the form of live demonstrations and ask the expert sessions is set to occupy a major part of the time schedule.

You are all aware that the city of Thessaloniki promises a unique experience and a memorable event. We are looking forward to your support.
