Congress of the International Society for Rotary Blood Pumps 2012

The mission of the ISRBP is to provide a broad international forum for intensive discussion of research, development, clinical use and social acceptance of rotary blood pumps. The ultimate goal is to provide technologies and applications, and clinical procedures for rotary blood pumps and related systems for saving lives, improving the life quality of recipients and for cost-efficient availability of the emerging therapies.

The primary tool to achieve these aims is the implementation of at least one annual meeting alternating between continents (usually Europe, Japan and the United States of America). The meeting shall include at least the oral and poster presentation of submitted abstracts, panel discussions and invited lectures. The program committees are especially requested to facilitate/foster the career development of young investigators working in the field.
