The ESVS Academy invites you to Crowne Plaza hotel in Belgrade, Serbia for the upcoming Basic Vascular Ultrasound Course. 1-2 November 2022 Join: Igor Koncar, Belgrade, Kim Kargaard Bredahl, Denmark and others, to be confirmed. Objectives Vascular ultrasound provides immediate diagnostic, and may provide clinically important information that cannot be obtained by any other imaging modality. Vascular ultrasound is harmless and can be performed at the bedside. The course is 50% theoretical and 50% hands-on. During the course, participants will be taught physics and principles behind vascular ultrasound, ultrasound anatomy and how to perform basic vascular ultrasound examination. This includes abdominal aorta, femoral arteries, peripheral bypasses, basic carotid ultrasound, deep venous thromboses and varicose veins. Classroom sessions will be followed by hands-on sessions, where course participants will have the opportunity to practise under supervision on patients with relevant vascular disease. 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). Attendance at the entire course is mandatory, in order to receive a course certificate with your CME points. Participants’ qualifications The course is aimed at vascular surgeons, vascular residents, nurses, technicians, sonographers taking […]
The ESVS Academy invites you to their upcoming workshop: Diagnosis and treatment of popliteal artery aneurysm. Join: Igor Koncar, Martin Bjorck, Anne Cervin and Irwin Mohan. Objective Popliteal artery aneurysm is limb and life-threatening condition due to its complications – thrombosis and rupture. Low incidence of this disease impede gaining expertise in treatment. Open repair of PAA is both challenging and controversial since multiple options are available and evidence to support any strategy is scarce. From the diagnostic dilemma of screening to controversial questions of approach (dorsal/medial) and conduit (graft/vein) selection and decision to choose endovascular solution when results are still difficult to compare with invasive open repair. Through interactive case discussion model and voting of the audience experts in this field will guide you through all these controversies and many more, share with audience their experience, and openly discuss all arguments used to select treatment strategy in these patients. By attending this course, participants will know the indications for some specific treatment modalities 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 […]
