The ESVS Academy invites you to their upcoming workshop: Controversial case discussion ACST II trial: to treat or not to treat. Join: C. Schrimpf, HH Eckstein, B Rantner, A Halliday  Please note that this workshop is being postponed until further notice. We apologise for the inconvenience.  Objective Asymtomatic carotid artery Stenosis is a very common vascular disorder based on generalized atherosclerosis within the vascular bed. Treatment of severe carotid artery stenosis is performed to restore patency and reduce stroke risk. Nevertheless, the procedural risk for disabeling stroke or death is about 1% in CAS and CEA. The course is designed to give the participants wider knowledge useful in their daily practice. The course will highlight the findings of the ACST II trial based on clinical cases and also highlight current treatment guidelines on carotid artery stenosis. During this workshop, each expert will present a case of carotid artery stenosis and the way the patient was treated (max. 8 min/case for a total of 36 min). This will be followed by a discussion of each case in the expert panel and questions from the audience (36 min/ total). At the end, a summary will be given highlighting the important key points […]

The ESVS Academy invites you to their upcoming workshop: AVF stent and stent graft. Join: Dr Flavia Gentile Johansson, Dr Matteo Tozzi, Dr Fernando Gallardo, Dr Joy Roy Objective Vascular access maintenance often requires the use of stents and stent graft. These can be used in different scenario such as cephalic arch stenosis, recurrent stenosis, exclusion of aneurysms and pseudo aneurysms, repair of pta induced vascular rupture. Stents should be used carefully in order not to jeopardize future secondary fistula creation. The course is designed to give the participants wider knowledge useful in their daily practice. The course will highland the indications for stent and stent graft placement in vascular access. The eligible cases will be presented, and designed treatment indicated. By attending this course, participants will know the indications for stent and stent graft placement and be able to decide if they are the most appropriate for given patient. A thought that there is no unique and perfect treatment modality for each patient will be presented and highlighted. Participants’ qualifications The course is open to vascular surgeons and vascular surgeons in training who are performing vascular access surgery. An intermediate level of knowledge of vascular access is expected. Registration […]

Surg., Rigshospitalet, Denmark Rikke Broholm, MD, PhD, Dept. Clin-Phys., Bispebjerg Hospital, Denmark Objective Vascular ultrasound is an important imaging modality in vascular surgery. The objective is to teach participants how to perform some of the most basic vascular ultrasound examinations: abdominal aorta, femoral arteries, peripheral bypasses, basic carotid ultrasound, percutaneous access, deep venous thromboses and varicose veins. Participants will have the opportunity to practice their skills under supervision during the course. This course corresponds to the curriculum of the theoretical part of EFSUMB Level 1 in Vascular Ultrasound (European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology). Online […]
