SUMMARY:ESVS "PAUSE" - Percutaneous Access and Ultrasound Skills Experience workshop\, 2026 - 1st edition
DESCRIPTION:Join the team in Madrid for this exciting new workshop in the Diagnostic Pathway!\nIn collaboration with: Department of Vascular Surgery of Fundación Jiménez Díaz\, Madrid\, Spain\n  \nYou will be expertly taught by:\nEvent leads:\nAna Begoña Arribas Díaz\, MD. Vascular surgeon. Hospital Fundación Jiménez Díaz\, Madrid.\nXavier Martí Mestre\, PhD. Vascular surgeon. Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge\, Barcelona.\nConvenors:\nAlejandro González García\, MD. Vascular Surgeon. Hospital Fundación Jiménez Díaz\, Madrid.\nBegoña Gonzalo Villanueva\, MD. Vascular surgeon. Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge\, Barcelona.\nCarlos Martínez Rico\, PhD. Vascular surgeon. Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge\, Barcelona.\nAitziber Salazar Agorria. MD. Vascular surgeon. Hospital Universitario de Cruces\, Bilbao. \n  \nUnfortunately this course has been cancelled due to low take-up. Thanks for your understanding.\n  \nEndovascular procedures play a central role in the treatment of lower limb ischaemia. The first and most critical step in these procedures is obtaining reliable vascular access. Retrograde access techniques are particularly important in complex endovascular interventions and may be required in up to 25% of cases. Ultrasound-guided vascular puncture significantly facilitates both antegrade and\, especially\, retrograde access. The acquisition of these technical skills requires dedicated practical training\, and cadaveric models provide an excellent educational environment for this purpose. The aim of this course is to introduce participants to ultrasound-guided vascular access techniques. Basic anatomical and ultrasound concepts will be reviewed\, and participants will progressively develop practical skills using homemade simulation models and\, most importantly\, Thiel-embalmed cadaveric models. Special attention will be given to the use and ultrasound assessment of vascular closure devices\, as well as to selected endovascular technologies operating within the vessel lumen\, such as venous radiofrequency ablation systems and intravascular lithotripsy systems. \n  \nThe course will begin with concise theoretical sessions covering: \n\nUltrasound anatomy of the lower limbs\nPrinciples of ultrasound-guided vascular access\nFundamentals of vascular puncture devices and materials\n\n  \nPractical workshops will then follow\, progressing from: \n\nBasic ultrasound machine operation (“knobology”)\nUltrasound anatomy of lower limb vessels on cadaveric models\nUltrasound-guided puncture on homemade simulation models\nUltrasound-guided antegrade and retrograde vascular access on Thiel cadaveric models\n\n  \nFinally\, participants will practise ultrasound-guided use of vascular closure devices and selected endovascular procedures under ultrasound monitoring. More than 66% of the course will consist of hands-on practical training. To ensure optimal hands-on training\, the faculty-to-participant ratio will be 1:2\, with one ultrasound machine\, one homemade puncture model\, and one cadaveric model available for every two participants. \n  \nFull Programme \n  \nParticipant level: This course is designed for healthcare professionals interested in ultrasound-guided vascular access and ultrasound monitoring during endovascular procedures.\nIt is primarily intended for vascular surgeons seeking to acquire or improve practical vascular access skills for everyday clinical practice. Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of vascular ultrasound and some previous experience in vascular puncture techniques. \n  \nCertification: MedTech Europe compliance approval is being sought for this event. CME accreditation is also being sought. \n  \nRegistration and cancellation policy: \nUnfortunately this course has been cancelled due to low take-up. Thanks for your understanding.\nThe course fee is €1200 for ESVS members and €1500 for non-members.

Most importantly the participants will learn how to size and plan EVAR cases\, simple and challenging ones. The participants will have hands-on practise on sizing and planning of many cases with the use of a software platform and hands on practise on simulators and various devices. The focus of the workshop will be on hostile neck and the use of iliac branch devices (IBDs). During the first day\, the participants will familiarize themselves with different hostile neck cases and scenarios. They will practice sizing and planning endovascular repair with a dedicated software and will learn how to manage such cases with standard EVAR using the main endograft devices currently available in the market for hostile neck anatomy. Practice on simulators and hands-on materials will follow. Custom-made fenestrated/branched EVAR (F/BEVAR)\, physician-modified endografts (PMEGs) or in-situ fenestration techniques are beyond the scope of this workshop and will not be discussed. The second day will focus on cases where there is inadequate distal landing zone in the common iliac artery bifurcation and there is a need to preserve the internal iliac artery using the IBDs. The participants will\, first\, practice on sizing and planning for EVAR with IBDs using the dedicated software\, and will\, subsequently\, familiarize themselves with the main IBDs available in the market and the Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of the Iliac Artery Bifurcation (CERIB) technique. A vivid and informal interaction between the participants and the course faculty members will be encouraged. \n  \nFinal Programme \n  \nParticipant level: The course is designed for young vascular surgeons and senior residents interested in endovascular treatment of aorto-iliac aneurysmal disease.
