The abstract submission fee is $25 USD per abstract (non-refundable).

No. Submission of the same abstract into different categories is not permitted. Submission of one study as several different abstracts is also not permitted. If the abstracts in question are not different enough to be considered separate studies, or if the same abstract is submitted into multiple categories, all versions may be rejected.

The deadline for abstract submission has passed and the submission site is now closed.

All late-breaking abstracts must be submitted by the 18 October deadline and will serve as a placeholder for the final abstract. Visit our Late-Breaking Clinical Science Abstracts page for more information.

ISHLT policies and instructions for submitting abstracts are outlined on our Abstract Submission Policies page.

The character limit for an abstract is 2,140 characters (spaces are ignored). This count includes characters in the Abstract Title, Abstract Body, Table(s), and Image(s). Author names and institutions are not counted. A table or image will remove 320 characters from the character limit. (Note: the amount of data in the table does not make a difference to the character count.) An image file size cannot exceed 10MB.

There is a limit of 50 authors listed on an abstract.

BMP, GIF, JPG, and PNG formatted graphic files can be uploaded during abstract submission.

The following browsers and their latest release are recommended for use:

Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Microsoft Edge
Safari

You can edit your abstract (even after paying the submission fee) until the deadline of 18 October, 2022. After this deadline, abstracts cannot be edited.

Individuals in the early stages of their careers (whose professional training was completed five or less years ago) and trainees (including medical students) are eligible to submit case reports. Visit our Early Career Clinical Case Reports page for more information.
