Endovascular toolkit in arteriovenous fistula dysfunction
2024-06-18 18:00 - 20:00
We are pleased to announce a course in the Dialysis Pathway! Endovascular toolkit in arteriovenous fistula dysfunction
Join: Flavia Gentile, Nicola Pirozzi, Fernando Gallardo & Joana Ferreira
Objective: The aim of this workshop is to give the participants an overview about tools which can be useful for fistula dysfunction. As vascular access dysfunction is a very common vascular disorder, its treatment requires many specialists to be able to maintain the problem. Endovascular tools are very often needed and used by interventional radiologist and vascular surgeons. Thus the course is designed to give the participants wider knowledge useful in their daily practice. Many treatment modalities can be utilised, the course will highland the indications for some specific methods, 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 basic tools to treat fistula dysfunction (stenosis, thrombosis) and 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.

Management of Aortic Rupture, Barcelona (MARB)
2024-10-28 - 2024-10-29 | Bellvitge University Hospital, Carrer de la Feixa Llarga, Barcelona, 08907, Spain
Please join us in Barcelona for the Management of Aortic Rupture (MARB) course!
Course confirmed! Please go ahead and book your flights and accommodation.
Your convenors will be: Ramon Vila & Elena Iborra
The faculty guiding you includes: Zoran Rancic, Emma Espinar, Begoña Gonzalo, Carolina Herranz, Malka Huici, Carlos Martinez-Rico, Dorelly Martínez-del-Carmen, Antoni Romera, Raul Lara, Esther Alba, Raul Herrera, 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 program to improve RAAA management in their centre. We will give students the resources needed to manage a RAAA effectively, allowing them 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 matter experts. Due to the focused attention, the student can clarify questions in an ongoing, casual conversation. It involves academic components as well as a practical application of learning by putting the student in the position of the instructor.
During the mornings, we will review several theoretical aspects:

Haemodynamic RAAA Approach: We will discuss the main periods in patient management and how to behave in each circumstance with the assistance of an anaesthesiologist.
Radiological Interpretation: We will review multiple CT scans’ results and share the critical tools that will allow the learner to read a CT angio accurately.
Vascular RAAA Management: Being assessed by experienced Vascular Surgeons and working on a simulator, we will see how to perform an efficient aortic clamping on a critical patient
Abdominal Compartment Syndrome: We will concentrate on abdominal compartment syndrome with the help of a general surgeon to understand how to identify and treat it.
Non-Technical Abilities: We will introduce you to the non-technical skills that are useful in emergencies and are required for the team to perform well

During the afternoons, we will move to two different scenarios:

In the dissection room, we will begin with an anatomical overview of the aorta. The student will receive a review of the essential anatomy to perform atypical aortic approaches that may allow above the renal arteries or thoracic aortic clamp. It will be followed by a practical exercise with cadaver models to put the lessons learned into practice.
In the hybrid operation room, we will put AAAR management into practice. In the end, we will do a debriefing to review the team’s development during the exercise.

Come to the dissection room at the University of Barclona School of Medicine and try alternative aortic approaches to save your patients.

You can also come to see our hybrid operating room and practice your skills during a simulation.

Learning Objectives

Develop a thorough understanding of RAAA management techniques.
Empower yourself with the skills required to handle RAAA cases effectively.
Gain insights into creating and implementing a program to enhance RAAA management at your center.

Programme Description
Duration: 20 hours over two intense days.
Format: Face-to-face sessions with small group collaboration and expert supervision.
Why MARB?

Expert Guidance: Benefit from the mentorship of experienced vascular surgeons and subject matter experts.
Practical Application: Move beyond theory with hands-on exercises in realistic scenarios.
Collaborative Learning: Engage with peers in small groups for personalised attention and ongoing discussions.

Secure your spot now to elevate your expertise in RAAA management.
Limited seats are available.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this transformative experience.
We look forward to welcoming you to the MARB course!
