Twelve vascular surgeons who will have to deal with the management of a ruptured aortic aneurysm (RAAA) are the target audience for the novel and exclusive MARB course. It is a 2-day course that seeks to cover all the details regarding a ruptured aneurysm. The course aims to offer students the skills they need to manage the RAAA comprehensively and empower them. We also intend to provide students with the tools to create a programme to improve RAAA management in their centre.

In collaboration with: Zuyderland Medical Center, Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Heerlen, the Netherlands Unfortunately, due to low take-up, this course has been cancelled.  This comprehensive workshop is designed for healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their experience in using vascular closure devices (VCDs). We will discuss the fundamental principles of vascular access, explore the evolution of VCDs, and gain practical skills through hands-on training. The workshop will cover four types of VCDs, offering a nuanced understanding of their applications and limitations. Participants will learn how to assess patients for VCD suitability, ensuring safe and effective use in various clinical scenarios. Through interactive sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to practise deploying different VCDs on wet-models, simulating real-world procedures. We will show how the different VCDs work on live cases. The workshop will also address complications associated with VCDs and provide strategies for their prevention and management. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently and proficiently incorporate vascular closure devices into their clinical practice, contributing to improved patient outcomes and procedural efficiency.
