Spain hosted a symposium of surgery endovascular with 10 live surgeries of 5 public hospitals.

– were broadcast a total of 10 live cases from 5 hospitals of the public network: the Hospital Clínico San Carlos Madrid, Hospital Vall d ’ D’hebron of Barcelona, the Hospital Dr. Peset of Valencia, the Clinical Hospital of Valladolid and the Hospital Clínico San Cecilio de Granada

-Spain more than 200 surgeons and other parts of the world have been able to learn the latest advances in the technical Endovascular

– between the main themes of the symposium highlighted innovations in diagnostic and therapeutic management of aortic aneurysms, the treatment of the narrow vessels of extremities (distal vessels), the use of new balloons and stents with drugs that are introduced into the blood vessels, devices recanalisation, etc

– during the event, the Vascular Surgeons have been practicing in situ with various virtual simulators for the learning of the new technical Endovascular: it was a ‘ training for experts ’

Madrid, December of 2011- Madrid hosted during the 1 and 2 December, in the Hotel Mirasierra Suites, the celebration of the International Symposium II of surgery Endovascular, organized by the the SEACV chapter of Endovascular surgery. This scientific event has become one of the events in the field of medicine more surgeries live comprising around the world, comparable even to the symposiums on surgery endovascular held in Germany and United States.

As having the Professor and doctor Eduardo Ros, President of the chapter of Endovascular surgery, were broadcast a total of 10 live cases from 5 hospitals of the public network: the Hospital Clínico San Carlos Madrid, Hospital Vall d ’ D’hebron of Barcelona, the Hospital Dr. Peset of Valenciathe Clinical Hospital of Valladolid and the Hospital Clínico San Cecilio de Granada. It was a huge technological, human and educational effort of vascular surgery in our country ”.

According to said Dr. Ros, during the appointment, surgeons vasculare shan State to practicing in situ with various virtual simulators for the learning of the new technical Endovascular ”. He was pointed out, a ‘ training for experts ’ many of the participants in the Symposium are Vascular Surgeons with extensive experience and knowledge, who now wish to broaden their skills and abilities with learning or improvement of the technical Endovascular ”.

In fact, Dr. Mercedes war, President of the Organizing Committee of the Symposium and head of Department of Angiology and Endovascular surgery of the University Hospital of Guadalajara, said who signed up more than 200 experts in Angiology and vascular surgery, which gives an idea of the importance of the Symposium and the rise of the Endovascular techniques ”. The DRA. War has pointed out that the Symposium also brought to the capital of Spain experts from various countries.

The symposium opened Thursday, December 1, with a Panel on Occlusive Disease aortoilíaca endovascular treatment, a pathology that can lead to the blocking of the two arteries that supply the lower area of the body and that, in most cases is caused by atherosclerosiswhose plates of atheroma are progressively narrowing the arteries.

Then addressed the endovascular treatment of the distal sector, i.e., how problems can be solved, through minimally invasive techniques, the of the fine blood vessels located at the end of the limbs. This table covered also the role of stents in the treatment of these problems, the application of balls with drugs in the lesions of the arteries and endovascular treatment of arteries in diabetic patients.

Already in the afternoon of Thursday, experts reviewed the recent developments on diagnostic and therapeutic management of aneurysm in abdominal aorta, a health problem with an extraordinary prevalence. About this disease, he spoke of the existing clinical recommendations, the use of biomarkers and new generations of Endoprosthesis.

On Friday morning, the II International Symposium of surgery Endovascular focused on other types of aneurysms of the thoracic aorta, in a table in which were presented, among other things, treatments Endovascular thoracic aortic trauma and the use of technical hybrid.

The last of the tables turned to do a review of the fémoro-popliteal sector endovascular treatment. Dr. Tesarek, participated in the corresponding table of Sant Bonifacius Hospital, Lingen, Germany, which exhibited the latest advances with regard to the drug-eluting stents of drugs. It also was the recanalisation of the superficial femoral artery, as well as protocols for monitoring and reoperation.

The scientific program of the symposium included the holding of two simposios-satélites. One of them, sponsored by the signing Gore is entitled ‘ innovative technologies for complex Endovascular treatments ’. The other, which ran parallel to the above, focused on the vision of the future of Endovascular therapies ” and has been sponsored by Medtronic.

Workshops with virtual simulators and the use of specific software for the management of Endovascular techniques took place on Friday afternoon.
