The first ESVS Academy session of 2022 20th January (18:00-20:00)   This workshop will provide information about advanced tips and tricks when performing endovascular procedures on arteries below the knee. Convenors will describe indications for revascularisation and optimal patient selection, techniques step by step from the approach to the treatment. Importantly, the limited number of attendees will allow for an interactive session, to discuss clinical cases between the speakers and the audience. Yann GOUËFFIC and Alessandro COSTANZO look forward to seeing you.     Intended audience: The course is designed for physicians that already performing endovascular interventions on peripheral arteries on femoro popliteal segment and would like to expand their field of treatment or for those that are already performing interventions below the knee and are seeking for tips. An advanced and intermediate level of knowledge of attendees is expected. The participants should also be familiar with basic endovascular toolkits. Registration is OPEN. Course fees : 25€ ESVS Members, 30€ Non-members Cancellation policy: For cancellations received more than 5 days before the event, a refund will be given less an administration fee of 10 EUR. For cancellations received less than 5 days before the event, no refund is possible. CME accreditation is […]

The ESVS Academy and the Department of Vascular Surgery, Rigshospitalet, Denmark invite you to the upcoming Basic Course in Vascular Ultrasound. 27, 28 and 29 January 2022 Objective Vascular ultrasound is an important imaging modality in vascular surgery. The objective with this course is to teach the participants to be able to perform some of the most basic vascular ultrasound examinations: abdominal aorta, femoral arteries, peripheral bypasses, basic carotid ultrasound, percutaneous access, deep venous thromboses and varicose veins. Participants will have the opportunity to practice their skills under supervision during the course. This course corresponds to the curriculum of the theoretical part of EFSUMB Level 1 in Vascular Ultrasound (European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology). Online quizzes and tests will be conducted regularly during the course and the faculty underlines that attendance in the entire course is mandatory in order to receive course certificate and CME points. Participants’ qualifications The course is designed for vascular surgeons, vascular surgeons in training and vascular nurses and technologist. No prior ultrasound experience is required but basic knowledge of vascular anatomy and physiology is expected. Registration fee € 1050 for ESVS members and € 1200 for non-members.
