SUMMARY:ENHANCE EVAR 2026 - February edition -  (Suprarenal fixation)
DESCRIPTION:ESVS and Copenhagen Certification programme in EVAR – ENHANCE EVAR (Suprarenal fixation)\nCourse confirmed! Please go ahead and book your travel and accommodation. \nA collaboration:  Esvs and copeNHAgeN CErtification programme (ENHANCE ) is arranged as a collaboration between the ESVS Academy\, the Department of Vascular Surgery at the University Hospital of Copenhagen (Rigshospitalet) and the Copenhagen Academy of Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES)\, Denmark. Today\, the ENHANCE programme consists of two courses that can be taken independently of each other. ENHANCE Open focuses on open repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms\, and ENHANCE- EVAR focus on basic endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). Both courses are a part of the ESVS Aortic Fellowship Programme. \nJoin: Rebecca\, Skov\, MD PhD\, Lead Convenor\, Dept. Vasc. Surg Rigshospitalet\,\nJonas Eiberg\, Professor\, Dept. Vasc. Surg. and CAMES\, Rigshospitalet\, Denmark\nKim\, Bredahl\, MD PhD\, Convenor\, Dept. Vasc. Surg Rigshospitalet\nand the instructors are:\nKatarina Björses\nMichael Strøm\nVaiva Dabravolskaite\nBegona Gonzalo\nAngelos Karelis\nThomas Nyheim \nProgramme description: ENHANCE EVAR is a certifying simulation-based educational programme aiming to prepare vascular surgical trainees to perform EVAR on patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. It consists of mandatory pre-course e-learning and 3 intensive days of hands-on training in Copenhagen. We use high-fidelity simulators and the latest evidence within course design\, assessment and certification. Participants will perform case sizing and planning on 3D-sizing stations and complete several EVAR procedures as surgeons and assistants on virtual reality endovascular simulators. Everything is supervised by highly experienced EVAR surgeons guiding the participants through each step of the EVAR procedure. Trainee to trainer ratio is 2:1\, ensuring intensive learning and feedback. During this course EVAR stent graft with infra-renal fixation will be used during the simulated cases. \nThis ENHANCE EVAR programme will have the same structure as the previous ENHANCE-EVAR courses. However\, the device trained on will be different. During this course\, you will practise all cases with one device and it’s recommended to attend the course if you use it in your clinic – please email ciara@esvs.org to find out more. \nLearning objectives: To obtain technical and non-technical skills in elective infrarenal EVAR\, and make pre-trained novices ready to continue their surgical training in the operating room\, under supervision. \nFull Programme \nParticipant level: The course is designed for EVAR novices\, defined as having performed fewer than 5 supervised EVAR-procedures as primary Operator and never having performed an EVAR-procedure independently \nCertification: You will be continuously assessed during the course and will be certified according to the validated standards developed in Copenhagen if you pass. MedTech accreditation is being sought for this event. CME accreditation is not being sought for this event \nPlease note: \n\nCompleting and passing a comprehensive ENHANCE e-learning programme is mandatory before hands-on training in Copenhagen. Accepted participants will receive a link for the modular eL program 3-4 weeks before the hands-on sessions in Copenhagen.\nWe aim to improve our training through research\, and data collection for such work may be part of ENHANCE. Data collection will be strictly confidential and comply with GDPR and Danish legislation.\n\nRegistrations and cancellation policy: The course fee is €2100 for ESVS members and €2550  for non-members. The fee includes certification\, 1:2 supervision\, course material\, simulator and equipment rental\, lunch and networking dinner. Transport\, accommodation and additional meals are not included.
