Controversies and Updates in Vascular Surgery 2010

Controversy and Updates in Vascular Surgery (CACVS) is an international post graduate course for Vascular Surgeons, Vascular Radiologists and Angiologists. The course includes a main session of two full days devoted to all aspects of vascular diseases and their treatments. A special focus is given on the most recent available data from on-going or recently published trials, technical aspects for selected vascular or endovascular procedures and debates on controversial topics.

This year, main topics are arterial aneurysms, imaging, carotid interventions, peripheral occlusive diseases and vascular accesses. The day before the course, a hands-on training program limited to 25 participants is set up for laparoscopic aortic surgery. On Saturday, a parallel session devoted to venous topics will provide the delegates with the most up-to-date information. Finally, ten symposia devoted to specific vascular issues will complete the course.
