Diagnosis and treatment of popliteal artery aneurysm
2022-11-04 17:00 - 19:00 | 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.

Controversial case discussion ACST II trial: to treat or not to treat
2022-10-13 18:30 - 20:00 | online
The ESVS Academy invites you to their upcoming workshop: Controversial case discussion ACST II trial: to treat or not to treat.
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.

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.
