Dear all,
The Organising Committee of the European Mechanical Support Summit (EUMS) announces that EUMS 2025 will no longer take place in September as originally planned. Instead, the summit will be held in conjunction with the Bellvitge Hospital and International Symposium on Mechanical Circulatory Support in Barcelona in February 2026. The exact dates will be announced soon.
This decision was made in light of international geopolitical factors and constraints related to global faculty and committee availability, both of which have increasingly challenged the feasibility of hosting a standalone event while maintaining the high standards expected by our community.
“These complex circumstances, particularly those affecting international mobility and scheduling, have led us to reassess the format of EUMS 2025,” said Professor Leprince, Chair of the EUMS Organising Committee. “By aligning with the International Symposium on Mechanical Circulatory Support, we are confident that we can deliver a more impactful and collaborative scientific meeting.”
This joint event will provide a strengthened platform for knowledge exchange, innovation, and discussion in the fields of mechanical circulatory support, advanced heart failure, and cardiac surgery.
Further details, including the finalised date, will be shared in an upcoming official communication.
The EUMS Committee would like to thank all partners, sponsors, and delegates for their understanding and continued support.
We look forward to welcoming everyone in February 2026.
Yours sincerely,
STEERING COMMITTEE: Pascal Leprince – Paris, FRA; Aly El Banayosy – Oklahoma, USA; Jan Schmitto – Hannover, GER
