Please join us in Barcelona for another MARB course! Course confirmed - please go ahead and book your travel and accommodation! Your convenors will be: Zoran Rancic & Elena Iborra The faculty guiding you includes: Ramon Vila, Emma Espinar, Begoña Gonzalo, Carolina Herranz, Malka Huici, Carlos Martinez-Rico, Dorelly Martínez-del-Carmen, Antoni Romera, Raul Lara, Esther Alba, Raul Herrera, Irene Tatger, Ivan Macía, Zoilo Madrazo. 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. We will give them the resources needed to manage a RAAA effectively, to export and apply the information and behaviours they learned in their home country. It is a twenty-hour face-to-face course distributed over two days of intense work. The student collaborates with peers in small groups while being supervised by tutors who are subject […]

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. Join the faculty team: Dr. Ozan Yazar, MD, Phd, course tutor, Zuyderland Medical Center Prof. Dr. Lee […]

This highly interactive course will guide participants through pre-operative planning and sizing, with hands-on training using two different industry endovascular materials (email info@esvs.org to find out who). The programme includes live cases from the operating theatre, giving participants real-time exposure to clinical decision-making and procedural techniques. Led by an experienced international faculty, the workshop offers a unique opportunity to deepen practical skills and engage in case-based discussions with leading experts in the field. Ideal for vascular surgeons and interventional specialists seeking to enhance their expertise in complex aortic repair, this workshop promises a dynamic and immersive learning experience. By the end of the workshop, participants will have: Strengthened their understanding of current endovascular strategies for complex thoracoabdominal and abdominal aortic aneurysms Gained practical experience in planning and sizing using […]

ENHANCE PAD - A Certifying Workshop in Basic Endovascular Techniques and Treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) A collaboration:  Esvs and copeNHAgeN CErtification programme (ENHANCE ) is a a collaborative initiative between the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS), the Copenhagen Academy of Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES), and the Department of Vascular Surgery at the University Hospital Copenhagen-Rigshospitalet. In the ENHANCE programme, acquired skills and knowledge will be certified based on validated assessment methods. Data will be collected throughout the ENHANCE programme to support ongoing research and drive continuous improvement. The ENHANCE programme is non-profit and non-sponsored. Please note that due to low take-up, this workshop is being postponed to 2026.  Join: Michael Strøm Consultant, PhD, Jonas, Eiberg, Professor, co-convenor, Dept. Vasc. Surg Rigshospitalet Kim, Bredahl, MD PhD, co-onvenor, Dept. Vasc. Surg Rigshospitalet Programme description: ENHANCE PAD will build a strong foundation for continued clinical training in endovascular treatment of PAD. This course is run by a highly experienced team of convenors and supervisors dedicated to educating and effectively treating PAD. The trainee-to-trainer ratio is 2:1, ensuring intensive learning and feedback. The course combines e-learning with hands-on technical simulation training and personalized feedback to enhance learning outcomes. Simulation-Based Training: The course is structured as […]
