EVF HOW - Hands-on Workshop on Venous Disease
2025-10-02 - 2025-10-04
Baden, Switzerland | 2-4 October 2025
Interest in venous disease has increased throughout Europe since 2005. Although there were several symposia, congresses, that were organized on vascular medicine, most courses were structured with the familiar format of presentations, discussions and occasionally demonstrations on technique rather than actual hands-on training.
The format combines “state-of-the art” presentations providing up-to-date information of modern practical management of venous disease, illustrated by case management discussions, live demonstrations, and most importantly, hands-on instruction with training on modern procedures.
