The overall objective of the Conference was to bring together internationally know clinicians, bioengineers, and basic scientists involved in research on pediatric mechanical cardiac support systems and pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. The primary focus was to . The organizers were able to bring together respected international scholars from over 25 different countries at past conferences that has already made a significant impact on the treatment of pediatric cardiac patients during the past three years. Over 1,300 participants (250–300 participants each year) from many countries, including Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have participated in the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 events. To date is the only conference solely dedicated to pediatric cardiac devices used during acute and chronic mechanical circulatory support. There is no other national or international conference to precisely define the problems with pediatric cardiac patients, and to suggest solutions with new methodologies and devices for pediatric patients, but specifically for neonates and infants.
会议的总体目标是汇集国际知名的临床医生、生物工程师和基础科学家，共同研究儿科机械心脏支持系统和儿科心肺旁路手术。主要重点是。组织者能够在过去的会议上召集来自 25 个不同国家的备受尊敬的国际学者，这在过去三年中已经对儿科心脏患者的治疗产生了重大影响。来自许多国家的 1300 多名参与者（每年 250-300 名参与者），包括阿根廷、澳大利亚、奥地利、比利时、巴西、加拿大、中国、芬兰、法国、德国、希腊、爱尔兰、意大利、日本、科威特、荷兰、新西兰、波兰、韩国、沙特阿拉伯、苏格兰、西班牙、瑞士、中国台湾、土耳其、英国和美国，参加了 2005 年、2006 年、2007 年、2008 年和 2009 年的活动。迄今为止，这是唯一一次专门针对急性和慢性机械循环支持期间使用的儿科心脏设备的会议。没有其他国家或国际会议能够准确地定义儿科心脏患者的问题，并为儿科患者提出解决方案，特别是为新生儿和婴儿。
