"This year at THT, experience a unique program combining didactic teaching on the fundamentals of hemodynamic support with case-based, interactive sessions. Dive into clinical scenarios that build from seemingly simple cases of cardiogenic shock to complex cases that pose conundrums for clinical decision-making. This is one conference for fellows and young faculty interested in shock management that you don’t want to miss!"

MCS Matters
Kick off THT 2026 with hands-on training dedicated entirely to mechanical circulatory support and the management of cardiogenic shock.
When medication isn’t enough to manage advanced heart failure or cardiogenic shock, mechanical circulatory support becomes a critical lifeline. Whether stabilizing acute cases or providing long-term support as a bridge to transplant, MCS expands your ability to save lives when every moment counts. Understand the full spectrum of devices and strategies — and master when and how to deploy them — for optimal care.
Join us for an exclusive, expert-led workshop. Gain practical knowledge and clinical insight to make life-saving decisions at every stage.
What To Expect
Expert-led didactics on the fundamentals of hemodynamic support, focused on the latest MCS indications, devices, and deployment strategies.
Real-world case reviews encompassing the full range of MCS scenarios, including shock, pulmonary compromise, and device troubleshooting.
Hands-on training in clinical scenarios tackling a range of case-based challenges with IABP, IMPELLA devices, ECMO, and the Harvi patient simulator.
