11:00 - 13:00 Room 1.6 Mastering EVAR Workshop
Speakers: I van Herzeele (BEL),  A Croo (BEL)

This session is fully booked.

This interactive, simulation-based workshop is designed for physicians seeking to enhance their technical proficiency in Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), with a dedicated focus on one of the most commonly encountered procedural challenges: contralateral (CL) gate cannulation. During this two-hour session, participants will explore practical strategies and techniques to improve efficiency and success during CL gate access.

The workshop combines concise theoretical guidance with extensive hands-on practice using advanced flow models that replicate physiological pulsatile blood flow and patient-specific 3D-printed aortic anatomies. Under the supervision of experienced EVAR operators, participants will gain practical exposure to various tools, manoeuvres, and troubleshooting approaches that can be applied in real clinical scenarios.

The session emphasizes experiential learning and peer discussion, providing a safe and realistic environment for participants to refine their skills, increase procedural confidence, and exchange clinical insights with faculty and colleagues.

After the workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Recognise anatomical and procedural factors that influence contralateral gate cannulation.
2. Describe different tool selection strategies to facilitate CL gate access.
3. Demonstrate various manoeuvres and techniques to achieve successful cannulation in challenging anatomies.
4. Apply troubleshooting approaches to optimise procedural efficiency and outcomes during EVAR procedures.

Tutor: D van den Heuvel (NLD)

There are still 16 seats available for this session.

This onehour, handson arterial workshop explores the expanding role of ComputerAssisted Vacuum Thrombectomy (CAVT) in the management of both standard and complex arterial thrombotic and embolic disease. Participants will review current therapeutic strategies, patientselection principles, and realworld challenges encountered in vascular surgery and interventional radiology departments managing these patients. 
The session highlights the versatility of the Penumbra aspiration thrombectomy portfolio including the latest generation Lightning Bolt technology, showcasing how computerassisted aspiration technology supports efficient clot removal across a wide spectrum of arterial indications — from acute limb ischemia to EVAR limb occlusions, visceral emboli, and other highrisk scenarios. 
The system uses realtime, computerassisted aspiration with intelligent valve control designed to differentiate clot from flow, optimizing thrombus extraction while helping to reduce blood loss. 
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own cases for discussion with our experts. Through practical case reviews and hands-on flow model, participants will learn about device setup, catheter selection, and procedural tips for managing standard and complex challenging arterial thrombus.
Content Overview: 
o Treatment strategies for arterial thrombus and embolic disease
o Patient selection and clinical decisionmaking
o Thrombectomy techniques across diverse arterial territories 
o Casebased discussions (bring your own cases)
o Handson practice with CAVT technology
