IDEAS 2026 – aortic programme

Programme | Faculty

IDEAS, the Interdisciplinary Endovascular Aortic Symposium, takes place every year during the CIRSE Annual Congress. A veritable congress-within-a-congress, IDEAS promotes multidisciplinary collaboration in aortic treatment and features experts from both interventional radiology and endovascular surgery.

The IDEAS 2026 programme will feature a variety of session types, from lectures on clinical practice to hands-on practical courses providing attendees with procedural tips and tricks on simulators or devices.

Delegates registered for the CIRSE Annual Congress have access to the full IDEAS educational programme at no extra cost.
