Vascular Surgical Anatomy Course – 5 edizione
28 November – 29 November 2019
Educational needs and expected outcome
In the Endovascular Era is important that surgeons do not lose their familiarity with the surgical skill indispensable for dealing with complications that may arise during endovascular treatment, or for confronting hybrid procedures. The participants would benefit from the experience of expert tuition in aortic surgery in a very interactive and stimulating educational context.
Objectives
This specific vascular course aims at improving knowledge of anatomical access to the thoracic and abdominal aorta and its branches including anatomic laparotomic and laparoscopic dissections and practice on fresh cadavers, with the contribution of experts in this field of Vascular Surgery.
The course is open to Vascular and General Surgeons from around the world who have successfully completed their surgical training or are at an advanced level of training.
The official language is English.
