The PAD Pathway would like to welcome you to a new course this summer - ESVS Advanced endovascular training in PAD Access, crossing and vessel preparation. How to optimise your algorithm Collaborator: Department of Vascular Surgery Alkmaar, the Netherlands. Your carefully selected expert team will be: Çağdaş Ünlü, vascular surgeon, MD, PhD Michiel Schreve, faculty, vascular surgeon, MD, PhD Wouter Hogendoorn, faculty, vascular surgeon, MD, PhD COURSE CONFIRMED: Please go ahead and book your travel and accommodation! Objective: This training has three objectives. The first goal is to learn all the important steps in access and closure, regarding all different access sites. Access and closure are crucial steps in these procedures to ensure patient safety and successful outcomes.  Hostile groins, proximal superficial artery occlusion and all peripheral retrograde options will be discussed and taught. Different closure devices will be discussed and can be practised on as part of the course. The second goal is to learn about wire selection. With the large possibilities of wire selection and the different lesions that need to be treated, the different options will be discussed (wire escalation vs antegrade-retrograde technique). Algorithm of wire escalation and choices will be presented on the basis of existing cases. The different wires […]

We are pleased to announce a new course in the PAD Pathway!  You will be in the capable hands of Dr. Maria Antonella Ruffino, MD, EBIR, FCIRSE and: Dr. Andrea Leoncini, Interventional Radiology Department, Lugano, CH Dr. Luca Di Maggio, Interventional Radiology Department, Lugano, CH, Dr. Luca Giovannacci, Vascular Surgery Department, Lugano, CH Dr. Giorgio Prouse, Vascular Surgery Department, Lugano, CH Dr. Alessandro Robaldo, Vascular Surgery Department, Lugano, CH Dr Michel Bosiers, Vascular Surgery Department, Bern, CH Objective: Acute limb ischaemia is a life-threating condition that requires a prompt diagnosis and rapid therapeutic interventions, since the prognoses of the limbs and the survival of the patients are mainly dependant on a fast therapeutic algorithm. The objectives of this course are to describe the phatophisiology of acute limb ischaemia; to describe and categorize acute limb ischemia; and, to get familiar with the current guidelines. The hands-on sessions and recorded cases sessions will lead the attendees to learn about the different treatment options (open and endovascular) and how to apply them in the different categories, as well as learn about their potential complications and outcomes. Full Programme Target audience: The course is designed for Vascular Surgeons, Angiologists, Interventional Radiologists and Cardiologists involved in the […]

The ESVS Academy is excited to collaborate with The Thin Line Academy to bring you our first course on cadavers! You will be taught by: Luca Garriboli, M.D., Chief of Vascolar and Endovascular Unit, IRCCS SacroCuore Don Calabria-Negrar di Valpolicella, Verona, Italy Prof. Michele Antonello Director Residency Program in Vascular Surgery Università degli Studi di Padova, Italy Dr. Giambattista Parlani, M.D. Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Santa Maria Misericordia Hospital Perugia, Italy Objective: Today, a wide range of strategies, techniques and technologies are available for avoiding limb amputation. This course aims to allow you to acquire a deep knowledge of the wide range of available tools and to increase your skills in treating patients with peripheral arterial diseases (PAD). For this purpose, traditional educational methods will be combined with hands-on training using human corpses. Endovascular and surgical instrumentation as well as modern facilities for fluoroscopy and ultrasound allow for a perfect simulation of our daily operative environment. Expert faculty will provide direct, one-to-one tutoring and support to the participants in a context of best practice. The practical work on the cadaver model gives our participants enough time for repeated practising. Full programme Target audience: The course is open to Vascular and Endovascular Surgeons from […]
