The second day of the course will also be used to ask additional questions from day one.

Thus, the course is designed to teach the participants general techniques in a hands-on workshop to perform carotid surgery. We use a simple but useful simulator and surgical instruments that will be shipped to the participants prior of the course and can be used individually afterwards. The participants will receive a vascular simulator kit […]
