Did you miss it last time? 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.
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 anesthetised 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. The aim is to learn about patient selection, diagnostic assessment and technical tips of endovascular deep venous interventions. To maintain close interaction with the faculty the workshop will be for 16 attendees (first come-first served).
Topics:
Thrombectomy – Thrombolysis
Venous Stenting in Acute DVT, PTS, NIVLs
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
IVC Filter Placement and Advanced Retrieval
Case Discussions – Hands-on Workshops – Simulators and Animal Lab
