This is an online workshop in the Carotid Pathway of the ESVS online workshop series for surgical techniques

The workshop consists of two parts, divided into two separate days. On day one, short introductory presentations will be given for surgical techniques, then the participants will be divided into groups of 4-5 people and be taught by one tutor to perform the carotid endarterectomy and patchplasty (day 1), as well as eversion endarterectomy (day2). The second day of the course will also be used to ask additional questions from day one.

Carotid artery disease is a common vascular disorder that may lead to neurological symptoms or worse, to disabling stroke. As advances in medical treatment, and endovascular or hybrid techniques advance, less and less carotid endarterectomies or eversion endarterectomies are performed as open vascular procedures. Thus, the course is designed to teach the participants general techniques in a hands-on workshop to perform carotid surgery. We use a simple but useful simulator and surgical instruments that will be shipped to the participants prior of the course and can be used individually afterwards.

The participants will receive a vascular simulator kit containing two carotid bifurcations and surgical instruments needed to perform carotid surgery. We recommend that you ask an ‘assistant’ to join you during the sessions.  This is essentially a second pair of hands with you for practical reasons i.e. allowing yourself to be all hands on the equipment, with the ‘assistant’ helping ensure a clear image is broadcast.

Kit list (yours to keep):

Target audience: The course is designed for trainees/ vascular surgeons with basic level knowledge. Carotid endarterectomy is one of the elements of the FEBVS practical exam and doing this WS will increase your ability to pass it. It is helpful if you have already participated in the Basic Anastomosis WS, but it is not a requirement. You should also be familiar with general anastomosis techniques: anchor and parachute technique.

Next steps:

  • Sign up, giving a private (home) address and not an address at your hospital / place of work to receive the kit. You will be sent a tracking number by email.
  • Receive your kit
  • Practice online under the supervision of renowned experts, giving you personalised feedback on your work

Registration: Registration is open now and will close on 24th April to allow time to ship the kits. Course fees – both sessions inclusive: 300€ ESVS Members, 400€ Non-members (includes kit and shipment within Europe – shipment outside of Europe will be invoiced separately).

Cancellation policy: Once your registration has been confirmed and your equipment kit ordered we are unable to issue refunds. The final decision of whether the course will be conducted is announced on the website no later than one month before the course starts.

CME: CME accreditation is not being requested for this session.

Recordings: Participants should be aware that the online session will be recorded and may be used by the ESVS on our website and e-library.
