Objective: The treatment of choice for aortic pathology has been open with an open surgical approach for many years, but in recent times, more and more centres are treating the majority of patients with aortic pathology endovascularly. This workshop is a unique opportunity for vascular surgeons, both in training and experience, to perform different approaches under the supervision of a vascular and endovascular master tutor. At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to fill the gaps in their understanding and performance of multiple approaches to the aorta and aortic branches. In addition, the use of the latest-generation C-arms and translucency tables in the cadaver training facilities, as well as the availability of different endografts dedicated to the arch, the thoracoabdominal segment, and infrarenal aorta, allow realistic interaction between the stent graft and the aortic/arterial wall. After the real-scenario experience, the technical results will be personally evaluated by the operator through surgical cut-down and arterial exposure.
Each course participant will have the opportunity to select 4 to 6 procedures for hands-on practice, tailored to their individual learning goals and skill levels. These procedures are categorized into three distinct levels: basic, advanced, and expert. This flexible approach allows for a personalized learning experience, ensuring that each individual can focus on mastering both fundamental techniques and more complex, specialized skills at their own pace.
Target audience: The course is open to Vascular and Endovascular Surgeons from around the world who have successfully completed their surgical training or are at an advanced residency programme level.
Accreditation: CME accreditation is being requested for this session. A Medtech application has been submitted.
