This session features George M. Pantalos, Professor of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, Kentucky, USA, and Joseph Zwischenberger, Professor of Surgery, Pediatrics, Interventional Radiology, and Bioengineering at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, presenting on “Remembering Dr. Robert Bartlett—So Much More Than ECMO!” at the 72nd Annual Conference of the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs (ASAIO).
They discuss Dr. Bartlett’s professional medical background, his work on the first successful neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) procedure, his involvement with ASAIO, and his memoirs, which address topics such as accountability, availability, responsibility, mentoring, and the birth of ECMO.
In June 2026, the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs hosted a conference featuring leading cardiothoracic surgeons who shared their expertise in the latest advancements of the field. Watch for more ASAIO 2026 videos in the coming weeks.
