This competition is designed to enhance and promote vascular trauma knowledge from preoperative planning until postoperative patient management (whole spectrum of care). Applicants should have experience in vascular trauma before applying for this competition.
Once participants have submitted their motivation letter, they will be invited to complete a quiz. Candidates will be shortlisted based on their motivation letter and quiz score. The six best candidates will be selected and will receive a preselected case with diagnostic CTA to solve. Each selected participant should prepare to present a solution for the proposed case (~5 min presentation + ~5 min discussion) starting from pre- and postoperative planning, continuing with procedure itself and finishing with postoperative workup. The case description with all necessary data will be provided beforehand. A jury consisting of faculty and EVST moderators will announce the winner at the end of the competition.
Target audience: Participation in this competition is limited to EVST members. Applicants should be familiar with the concept of vascular trauma before applying for this competition. All who wish to join the audience are welcome.
