Objective:Â Join us for a focused two-day ESVS aortic workshop dedicated to advanced endovascular treatment strategies for complex thoracoabdominal and abdominal aortic disease. This highly interactive course will guide participants through pre-operative planning and sizing, with hands-on training using two different industry endovascular materials (email info@esvs.org to find out who). The programme includes live cases from the operating theatre, giving participants real-time exposure to clinical decision-making and procedural techniques. Led by an experienced international faculty, the workshop offers a unique opportunity to deepen practical skills and engage in case-based discussions with leading experts in the field. Ideal for vascular surgeons and interventional specialists seeking to enhance their expertise in complex aortic repair, this workshop promises a dynamic and immersive learning experience.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have:
- Strengthened their understanding of current endovascular strategies for complex thoracoabdominal and abdominal aortic aneurysms
- Gained practical experience in planning and sizing using real-world imaging and device selection
- Acquired hands-on familiarity with advanced endovascular tools and stent graft systems
- Observed and analysed live endovascular procedures to connect theory with clinical practice
- Engaged in peer discussion and expert-led case reviews to enhance critical thinking and decision-making
- Improved their ability to independently plan and execute complex endovascular repairs in their own clinical settings
The course aims to empower vascular specialists and trainees to apply evidence-based, technically sound, and patient-centred approaches to challenging aortic pathology.
Target audience: The target audience is vascular surgeons or trainees, with an intermediate level of experience in aortic procedures, seeking to deepen their skills in complex thoracoabdominal endovascular repair.
Accreditation: Medtech is being requested for this course. CME accreditation has not been requested.
