ESVS Management of Central Venous Stenosis and Occlusion in Dialysis
2024-04-09 18:00 - 20:00 | online
The Academy is delighted to announce a new course in the Dialysis Pathway!
ESVS Management of Central Venous Stenosis and Occlusion in Dialysis
You will be in the capable hands of:
Flavia Gentile
Roberta Brambilla
Matteo Tozzi
Alexandros Mallios
Fernando Gallardo
Objective: Central venous stenosis and occlusions of the major intrathoracic veins (jugular, subclavian, brachiocephalic, superior vena cava) can jeopardise arteriovenous fistula/graft function, or limit access creation options in end-stage kidney disease. This workshop highlights indications/contraindications, and management options of central venous occlusion and stenosis in the ESKD patients on HD.
As central venous stenosis and occlusion is a more common vascular disorder because of the rising number of patients with end stage renal disease on catheter, its treatment requires many specialists to be able to deal with this problem. Thus, the course is designed to give the participants wider knowledge that will be useful in their daily practice. The course will highlight the indications for some specific methods, which are the most appropriate for given patients. The eligible cases will be presented, and a tailored treatment indicated. 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 a given patient. A thought that there is no unique and perfect treatment modality for each patient will be presented and highlighted.

ENHANCE OPEN
A 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.
Course confirmed! Please go ahead and book your travel and accommodation!
Today, the ENHANCE program consists of two courses that can be taken independently. ENHANCE OPEN focuses on open repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms, and ENHANCE-EVAR focuses on basic endovascular aortic repair (EVAR).
Join: Jonas Eiberg, Professor of Vascular Surgery, Copenhagen, Kim Kargaard Bredahl, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Copenhagen, Igor Koncar, Belgrade University Hospital, Serbia, Carl Wahlgren, Karolinska University Hospital , Sweden, Cecilie Markvard Møller, Skejby University Hospital, Denmark, Christian Lyng, Sykehuset Innland Hamar, Norway, Xavier Berard, Prof, Dept. of vascular Surgery, Bordeaux, France.

Full programme
Programme description: ENHANCE OPEN is a 3-day simulation-based training programme. Each course participant will perform 6-8 cases as a surgeon, and 6-8 as an assistant under the supervision of highly experienced open aortic surgeons. Participants will receive supervision, feedback and hear about tips & tricks. Feedback will be summative in test-cases and formative in supervision-cases. The trainee-tutor rate will be 2:1. During the course, participants will train on state-of-the-art life-like pulsatile aortic simulation models and aortic inlays (Vascular International) and use original vascular instruments, grafts and sutures in a simulated OR environment.
Course design, duration and assessment have been tested and validated. We aim to improve our course through ongoing research, evaluation and feedback, which is why monitoring with sports watches, video recording and continuous data collection will be part of this course. Data collection will be strictly confidential and comply with current GDPR and Danish legislation. In order to get full benefit from the course, we recommend that the course participant is prioritised for supervising AAA operations afterwards.
Learning objectives: ENHANCE OPEN is an ambitious simulation-based educational programme aiming to prepare vascular surgical trainees to perform supervised elective open repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. If you pass the programme, you will master all the necessary steps of the procedure and be ready to continue training in the OR on patients under supervision.
Participant level: The target group is vascular surgical trainees with limited experience in open AAA repair. Experience with essential peripheral open surgical techniques (instruments, anastomotic techniques etc.) is required, as well as basic knowledge of abdominal aortic anatomy. Participants will be trained in teams of two based on prior experience. Participants will be selected based on electronic surveys and personal online interviews with the course convenor.
Certification: Participants’ technical and non-technical skills are assessed continuously with summative and formative feedback to cater to multiple learning styles. Participants who pass the course will be certified according to Copenhagen standards, and participants that did not achieve the required competence level will receive a proof of participation. Certification is based on a validated assessment and pass-fail limit using the OPERATE tool.
Registrations fee: The course fee is €2000 for ESVS members and €2300 for non-members. The fee includes certification, 1:2 supervision, course material, inlays, sutures, grafts, gloves, gowns, lunch, beverages, snacks and networking dinner. Transport, accommodation and additional meals are not included. Acceptance on the course will also grant access to the 26th international experts symposium Critical issues in aortic endografting.

We are delighted to announce another course on the Vascular Access Pathway:
AVF thrombolysis and thrombectomy: treatment strategies
You will be guided by: Dr Flavia Gentile Johansson, Dr Anton Razuaev, Dr Maarten Snoeijs, Dr Matteo Tozzi & Dr Fernando Gallardo
Objective: Vascular access thrombosis is a very common vascular access complication. Early thrombosis is most often due to an inflow problem and late thrombosis mostly to an outflow stenosis. If left untreated, it results in the fistula failure. Graft thrombosis is most often caused by neointimal hyperplasia. Thrombosis can be also a complication of needling. Treatment options include surgical thrombectomy or an endovascular approach which involves mechanical or pharmacologic thrombolysis. The course is designed to give the participants wider knowledge useful in their daily practice. It will highlight the indications for a surgical or an endovascular technique, which are the most appropriate for given patients. The eligible cases will be presented, and designed treatment indicated.
By attending this course, participants will know the indications for the specific treatment modalities and be able to decide if they are the most appropriate for a given patient. A thought that there is no unique and perfect treatment modality for each patient will be presented and highlighted.
Target audience: The course is designed for vascular surgeons who are performing vascular access surgery.
Participant qualifications: An intermediate level of knowledge of vascular access is expected.
