It’s back! The Deep Venous Intervention in Acute DVT, Post-Thrombotic and Non-Thrombotic Iliac Vein Lesions workshop is part of the programme again.
In collaboration with: the 2nd Department of Vascular Surgery, University of Athens, Greece.
Course confirmed! Please go ahead and book your travel and accommodation!
As deep venous interventions are rising there is increasing demand for better understanding of appropriate indications and techniques. This is a hands-on workshop on deep venous procedures on live, anaesthetised pigs in the operating theatre, including thrombectomy, stenting, IVUS, IVC filter placement and retrieval. Attendees will attend in-depth lectures by international experts on how to identify appropriate patients and how to use contemporary thrombectomy devices, dedicated venous stents and IVUS. Case discussions, silicon-models and simulators will complete the educational activity. To maintain close interaction with the faculty the workshop will be for 16 attendees (first come-first served).
This ESVS workshop will allow attendees to better understand indications and patient selection for a deep venous intervention. They will be taught by international experts through interactive lectures, case discussions, simulators and live animal cases. They will exchange knowledge and experience with their colleagues, and ask all their questions as they will be performing the procedures in bench models or in the animal operating room. The aim of this ESVS workshop is that attendees will get a baggage of newfound knowledge to allow them to establish a comprehensive venous service in their home institution.
Topics:
Thrombectomy – Thrombolysis
Venous Stenting in Acute DVT, PTS, NIVLs
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
