Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) 2015

The evident interest in EVAR and TEVAR inspired the introduction of a new feature that will make its debut at CIRSE 2015: the Interdisciplinary Endovascular Aortic Symposium (IDEAS). A two-and-a-half-day stand-alone programme featuring 14 hours of targeted education, IDEAS will run in the same building as, and parallel to, the Annual Meeting. Delegates who have registered for either event will be able to attend these specialised sessions and the CIRSE 2015 industry exhibition.

Other specialised sessions also garnered impressive praise, with over 98% of participants characterising the two Evidence Fora as valuable learning experiences. The Abdominal Aorta Evidence Forum addressed the most up-to-date research on endovascular aneurysm sealing and iliac sidebranch grafts for aorto-liliac aneurysms, different techniques for pararenal aortic aneurysms, and provided an update on relevant trials. The Thoracic Aorta Evidence Forum focused on the rapidly evolving use of endovascular stent grafts to treat thoracic aortic aneurysms.
