Description: As complex aortic endovascular repair (EVAR) with fenestrated and branched endografts (F/B-EVAR) becomes the first-line treatment for pararenal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, there is an increasing need for a deeper understanding of the indications, planning, and technical execution of these procedures. This intensive workshop is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the available options for the treatment of complex aortic pathologies using fenestrated and branched stent-grafts. Participants will receive dedicated instructions for use and deployment videos on all grafts. There is a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience with grafts from no less than 4 major manufacturers.
Participants will benefit from:
- In-depth lectures delivered by international experts, focusing on:
- Patient selection and appropriate indications
- Detailed pre-procedural planning and device customization
- Step-by-step procedural execution, including tips, tricks, and bailout strategies for intraoperative challenges
- Live case, case-based discussions and review of recorded live cases
- Hands-on simulator sessions to reinforce practical understanding and procedural skills
To ensure close interaction and personalised mentorship from the faculty, participation is limited to 16 attendees (first-come, first-served).
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Define the indications and contraindications for F/B-EVAR in pararenal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
- Interpret preoperative imaging to guide patient selection and stent-graft design.
- Develop customized endograft plans, including fenestration and branch configurations based on aortic and visceral anatomy.
- Apply step-by-step technical strategies for safe and effective procedure execution.
- Recognize and manage intraoperative and postoperative complications, including bail-out techniques.
- Implement organizational and workflow strategies essential for a fully functional complex aortic program.
Topics:
FEVAR and BEVAR for short-neck, juxtarenal or suprarenal AAA and thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Case Discussions – Detailed Planning
Hands On Workshops – Simulators
