Diagnosis and treatment of popliteal artery aneurysm
2022-11-04 17:00 - 19:00 (Europe/Paris) | online
The ESVS Academy invites you to their upcoming workshop: Diagnosis and treatment of popliteal artery aneurysm.
Join: Igor Koncar, Martin Bjorck, Anne Cervin and Irwin Mohan.
Objective
Popliteal artery aneurysm is limb and life-threatening condition due to its complications – thrombosis and rupture. Low incidence of this disease impede gaining expertise in treatment. Open repair of PAA is both challenging and controversial since multiple options are available and evidence to support any strategy is scarce. From the diagnostic dilemma of screening to controversial questions of approach (dorsal/medial) and conduit (graft/vein) selection and decision to choose endovascular solution when results are still difficult to compare with invasive open repair.
Through interactive case discussion model and voting of the audience experts in this field will guide you through all these controversies and many more, share with audience their experience, and openly discuss all arguments used to select treatment strategy in these patients.
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 given patient. A thought that there is no unique and perfect treatment modality for each patient will be presented and highlighted.
Participants’ qualifications
The course is designed for basic level of knowledge of pathology and pathophysiology of the aneurysm disease as well as knowledge about clinical presentation is expected. The participants should be familiar with diagnostic procedures.
Registration fee & cancellation policy
€ 25 for ESVS members and € 30 for non-members. Please note that the course is dependent on final registration numbers. Where registration numbers are too low to run the course, this will be announced on the website no later than 48 hours before the course starts. For cancellations received by participants more than 10 days before the event, a refund will be given less an administration fee. For cancellations received less than 10 days before the event, no refund is possible.
CME accreditation is being requested for this session. Participants are aware that the online session will be recorded and may be used by the ESVS on our website and e-library.

Join: C. Schrimpf, HH Eckstein, B Rantner, A Halliday
Please note that this workshop is being postponed until further notice.
We apologise for the inconvenience.
Objective
Asymtomatic carotid artery Stenosis is a very common vascular disorder based on generalized atherosclerosis within the vascular bed. Treatment of severe carotid artery stenosis is performed to restore patency and reduce stroke risk. Nevertheless, the procedural risk for disabeling stroke or death is about 1% in CAS and CEA. The course is designed to give the participants wider knowledge useful in their daily practice. The course will highlight the findings of the ACST II trial based on clinical cases and also highlight current treatment guidelines on carotid artery stenosis.
During this workshop, each expert will present a case of carotid artery stenosis and the way the patient was treated (max. 8 min/case for a total of 36 min). This will be followed by a discussion of each case in the expert panel and questions from the audience (36 min/ total). At the end, a summary will be given highlighting the important key points discussed during the session (10 min).
By attending this course, participants will learn, based on real life clinical cases, how the findings of the ACST II impact the treatment for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. The participants will be able to decide if they are up to date with the latest carotid surgery treatment recommendations and will be able to adjust their treatment accordingly. The WS aims to help practitioners decide to find the most appropriate therapy for their patient.
Participants’ qualifications
The Controversial case discussion is designed for every vascular surgeon, vascular surgeon in training or interventional radiologist, angiologist or interested general practitioners who deal with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis during daily practice. A general knowledge of therapies for asymptomatic carotid stenosis is expected. Also experienced surgeons can benefit from this workshop as findings of the ACST II trial and current treatment guidelines in relation to real life clinical cases and treatment strategies will be discussed. Of note: the workshop does not explain how to perform carotid surgery or stenting.
The course is open to vascular surgeons, vascular surgeons in training, vascular nurses, angiologists and interventional radiologists as well as technologists from all around the world.

How to tailor the treatment for the patients with superficial venous disease upon 2022 ESVS guidelines
2022-10-06 19:00 - 20:00
Already have basic knowledge of vascular anatomy and physiology? Then here is your chance to advance your skills in a course designed for vascular surgeons and vascular surgeons in training.
The ESVS Academy invites you to their upcoming workshop: How to tailor the treatment for the patients with superficial venous disease upon 2022 ESVS guidelines.
Join: Adam Zieliński, Jose Hipola, Sergio Gianesini, Michał Stanisic
Objective
As chronic veins disease is a very common vascular disorder, its treatment requires many specialists to be able to maintain the problem. It seems that there is a lack of vascular surgeons treating venous pathologies. Thus the course is designed to give the participants wider knowledge useful in their daily practice. As the pool of phlebological patients is very wide and many treatment modalities can be utilised, the course will highlight the indications for some specific methods, which are the most appropriate for given patients. Due to the fact that new ESVS clinical practice guidelines on the management of chronic venous disease of the lower limbs were published in 2022, there is a need to update the knowledge to improve treatment efficiency.
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 given patient. A thought that there is no unique and perfect treatment modality for each patient will be presented and highlighted. Special interest will be put on the new recommendations shown in currently published ESVS 2022 guidelines.
Participants’ qualifications
The course is designed for vascular surgeons and vascular surgeons in training from all around the world. Basic knowledge of vascular anatomy and physiology is expected.
Registration fee & cancellation policy
€ 25 for ESVS members and € 30 for non-members. Please note that the course is dependent on final registration numbers. Where registration numbers are too low to run the course, this will be announced on the website no later than 48 hours before the course starts.

Hands-on Workshop in Vascular Ultrasound - Barcelona
2022-05-04 - 2022-05-06
The ESVS Academy invites you to Bellvitge University Hospital for the upcoming Hands-on Workshop in Vascular Ultrasound.
4-6 May 2022
Objective
The course provides a thorough grounding in the clinical skills to work in vascular ultrasound.
During the course, participants are presented an intensive series of short lectures focussed on technical aspects of the different US examinations. Lecturers explain the examinations while performing one in the same room on selected patients.
Classroom teaching is supplemented by sessions at the Vascular Laboratory, where participants have the opportunity to practice their skills under supervision on patients with relevant disease and on silicone models for US guided puncture. Hands-on sessions last 5 hours each day. (4 participants /1 tutor/ 1 station)
E-learning module
Before attending the course, participants will have access to an on-line blended learning module that will introduce them to the basic knowledge of ultrasound and the standards of the different examinations.
The e-learning module includes:
• all presentations of previous editions.
• a quiz that helps to review basic concepts of US physics, the anatomy of commonly examined areas and most important diagnostic criteria.
• a forum open to questions from all participants.
• a survey about previous US experience that will help us to prepare the groups for the workshop.
This preparatory module is intended as a tool to save time in lectures, allowing more time for hands-on practice. It will open 15 days before the course and close one month after it. Registered participants will receive access instructions before April 20th .
Participants’ qualifications
The workshop is addressed mainly to novice trainees and to those willing to prepare for the CCVUS examination.
Registration fee
The registration fee is €750 for ESVS members and €800 for non-members. It includes course materials, coffees, lunches and a course dinner on 4th May. Transport, accommodation and additional meals are not included.
