1. Overview
The Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society (CCAS) Annual Meeting is a premier medical conference dedicated to advancements in pediatric cardiac anesthesia and the perioperative care of patients with congenital heart disease. Held on March 12, 2026, the event covers a wide spectrum of contemporary topics, from digital frontiers like machine learning and 3D modeling to novel therapeutics, pediatric heart transplantation, and the evolving challenges of managing aging congenital heart disease patients.
2. Learning Objectives
Understand the applications and ethical considerations of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and 3D virtual planning in congenital heart disease management.
Evaluate novel pharmacological therapeutics, including myosin inhibitors, remimazolam, and SGLT2 inhibitors, in the perioperative care of congenital cardiac patients.
Discuss advancements and current challenges in pediatric heart transplantation, xenotransplantation, and heart preservation techniques.
Analyze complex perioperative management scenarios, such as coagulation in pediatric bypass, the economics of heart centers, and the anesthetic implications for aging patients with congenital heart disease.
3. Target Audience
Best for pediatric anesthesiologists who want key updates on congenital heart disease care, novel therapeutics, and AI applications.
