The 2024 NYSTS Fall meeting is approaching, and we are planning for an exciting and interactive in-person dinner conference at The Riverpark (450 E 29th St, New York, NY 10016) on Wednesday November 6th, 2024. Our focus for the meeting will be on innovations in heart and lung transplant. A cocktail hour will be followed by dinner and a series of debates on controversial topics in heart and lung transplant surgery.
Expert panelists will pair with a resident from their institution who will present an interesting case and how it was managed. The panelist will comment on their management of that case and opinions from the other panelists and audience will be sought.
The heart transplant debate will focus on donation after circulatory death (DCD) and methods for reanimation and evaluation, as well as strategies for bridging to transplant. Panelists for this segment will be Koji Takeda/Yoshi Naka (NYP Cornell/Columbia), Nader Moazami (NYU), and Daniel Goldstein (Montefiore).
The lung transplant debate will focus methods for procurement after donation after circulatory death (DCD) and decision-making regarding lung versus heart-lung transplant and single versus double lung transplant. Panelists for this segment will be Stephanie Chang (NYU), Scott Sheinin (Mount Sinai), and Philippe Lemaitre (Columbia).
The NYSTS has a long-standing history of successful meetings with attendees representing various institutions throughout the New York area. We all appreciate the opportunity to interact with our peers across the city and the region, allowing us to collaborate and pursue our academic endeavors. The NYSTS remains steadfast in our commitment to the academic advancement of the field of cardiothoracic surgery by fostering the development of cardiothoracic surgeons and trainees in adult cardiac, congenital, structural heart and thoracic surgery.

Sincerely,
NYSTS Council
