IDEAS 2023 will feature six practical courses: two on standard EVAR (endovascular aortic aneurysm repair), one on FEVAR (fenestrated EVAR), one on IBD (iliac branched device technique), one on percutaneous access, and one on a software for aortic measurements.
Each course will last about 90 minutes and is organized and chaired by one or two clinical experts within the field. The purpose of these courses is to give participants a clinical practical experience, including hands-on training where possible and increase the confidence when using these techniques. There will also be plenty of time for discussion to make sure that all the participants’ questions are answered.
As all courses are with limited seating, attendees will be guaranteed good exposure and close and direct contact with the clinical experts leading the course.
Session schedule
Coordinator: G. Maleux (Leuven/BE)
Monday, September 11, 08:30-10:00
In this course, the participants will learn how to use currently available software technology for measuring and planning aortic endografts with special attention to both basic elements as well as tips and tricks for uncommon or challenging cases.
To learn how to use currently available software for planning an aortic endograft
To learn how to accurately measure diameter and length of aortic segments to be treated
To learn various tips and tricks for accurate measurement and planning of aortic endografts
Coordinators: E. Verhoeven (Nuremberg/DE), A, Katsargyris (Athens/GR)
Monday, September 11, 13:00-14:30
This course will give participants insight into the FEVAR technique, led by two clinical experts.
The session will start with an open discussion about the indications for FEVAR but also balance with alternative treatment options. In addition, attendees will learn about the anatomical limitations and contra-indications and how to handle more difficult anatomical situations as well as the basics of measurements and how to cooperate with the planning centre of the company.
Finally, it will be discussed how to handle technical difficulties and which bail-out techniques are available.
Participants will also be able to deploy a fenestrated stent graft step-by-step in order to fully understand the potential of this now well-established technique in the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms.
To learn about the indication for FEVAR
To learn about the technical aspects and limitations of a fenestrated graft
To learn the FEVAR implantation technique
Coordinator: C. Bent (Bournemouth/GB)
Monday, September 11, 16:15-17:45
A broad range of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) stent grafts are available for use in Europe. This wide selection of devices enables bespoke treatment of a comprehensive range of AAA disease patterns both for acute and elective settings. Practical or ‘hands-on’ device training will allow participants to familiarize themselves with the common abdominal aortic stent grafts available in Europe, including their design, deployment and advantages/disadvantages – to ensure the planning of a durable AAA repair. Furthermore, there will be an opportunity to see additional adjuncts and tools frequently incorporated during endovascular repair to assist in successful treatment in patients exhibiting more challenging anatomy (e.g. endoanchors).
This basic session on standard EVAR is aimed at trainees and experienced interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons who wish to refresh their skills or learn about specific aortic devices.
To learn the planning and sizing steps of an EVAR device
To understand the specific IFU for an EVAR device and how it affects device selection and deployment strategy
To learn about adjunctive techniques that may be incorporated to achieve the most durable outcome
Coordinator: H. Kobeiter (Creteil/FR)
Tuesday, September 12, 08:30-10:00
During this practical course, delegates can learn or expand their expertise in the management of percutaneous closing when using large vascular access, particularly in the aortic pathology field.
In addition, participants will have the opportunity to meet highly expert operators and benefit from their experiences and tips and tricks to master those techniques or to avoid failure or possible complications.
The basic session on percutaneous access is aimed at trainees and juniors, as well as advanced interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons who wish to refresh their skills.
To learn about the indication and limitations of the percutaneous devices during endovascular aortic interventions
To understand how the devices work
To handle the devices for training
To learn about tips and tricks in different situations
Coordinator: F. Verzini (Turin/IT)
Tuesday, September 12, 13:00-14:30
During this hands-on training course, delegates will practice deployment of Iliac branch endografts in a simulator assisted model in order to learn the procedure step by step. Tutors will address the topics of patient selection, indication and contra-indication of the procedure and the specific advantages of each device available.
The course is aimed at trainees and juniors, as well as interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons who wish to improve the skills on advanced iliac endografting.
1. To learn in depth indications and techniques of Iliac branch endografting 2. To practice deployment of IBE in a simulator 3. To learn about anatomical difficulties and practice measures to overcome them with the support of specialists 4. To understand specific IFU for the available devices and how that affects planning and device selection 5. To learn the important points during planning stage that reduce radiation, contrast dose and smooth out the procedure workflow
Coordinator: J.C. van den Berg (Lugano/CH)
