ECOS-TSC 2026

The next edition of the International ECOS-TCS Congress is planned on June 23-24, 2026 in Paris, at the Institut du Cerveau, at the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital.

Extracorporeal Organ Support (ECOS) and Temporary Circulatory Support (TCS) systems have become increasingly vital in the management of critically ill patients. These advanced technologies are frequently employed to treat patients experiencing cardiac, respiratory, kidney, and liver failure, as well as those requiring blood purifi cation techniques…

Join us in Paris next June 23-24, 2026, to explore innovative systems and platforms designed to support or replace organs affected by sepsis, trauma, or acute cardiac, respiratory, kidney, or liver diseases. A dedicated congress track will focus on Temporary Circulatory Support (TCS) devices, increasingly utilized by interventional cardiologists and intensivists for managing cardiogenic shock.

This Congress will feature cutting-edge discussions on the indications and outcomes of extracorporeal gas exchange techniques, including venovenous ECMO and ECCO2R, for managing acute respiratory failure. Dedicated sessions will explore the latest evidence and practical management strategies for patients with acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy, acute liver failure, or conditions necessitating emergent blood purifi cation.

This unique interdisciplinary forum will bring together cardiologists (particularly interventional cardiologists), heart and lung surgeons, pulmonologists, nephrologists, intensivists, hematologists, emergency physicians, anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists, perfusionists, and nurses to engage with world-renowned experts and discuss all theoretical and practical aspects of these evolving and promising technologies.

This year, the ECOS-TCS Congress is combined with the June ECMO DIPLOMA session.

Combine the unique experience of:
– (upon a specific registration) graduating from the La Pitié ECMO DIPLOMA, endorsed by EURO-ELSO, the European Chapter of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) (you have to register here to attend this course)
– attending the Paris ECOS-TCS international congress 

The ECMO DIPLOMA takes place on June 17-18-19 and 22 at La Pitié, with lectures, case studies, practical hands-on and simulation sessions on devices and of course discussions of actual ECMO cases in small groups at patient’s bedside during ICU rounds.
