Welcome
Dear Colleagues and Delegates,
on behalf of the faculty and organisers, it is a great privilege and honor to warmly welcome you to the COMPREHENSIVE BASIC AND ADVANCED COURSES ON VASCULAR SURGICAL ANATOMY AND OPEN SURGICAL TECHNIQUES. These worldwide unique workshops have proved over the last years to be a very effective training method for vascular surgeons.
Key is the intensive supervision by the multi-lingual tutors’ team who have vast experience in vascular surgery and teaching. The close tutor-student interaction guarantees an intensive learning process.
The training atmosphere is relaxed and full discussion is encouraged.

The COMPREHENSIVE BASIC AND ADVANCED COURSES ON VASCULAR SURGICAL ANATOMY AND OPEN SURGICAL TECHNIQUES will be the 24th course organised by the VASCULAR INTERNATIONAL School. Back then, we started with the access to leg arteries course, followed by the Vascular Access Masterclass in 2009 (for haemodialysis access). In 2017, we finally introduced the course on the thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta and the supra-aortic vessels.
The school’s goals are the teaching of topographical and surgical anatomy, surgical basic practices, advanced open surgical techniques and innovations.
The courses are based on practical dissection of 5-7 cadavers (legs, arms thoracic aorta and supraaortic arteries) under the guidance of expert tutors.
The arm and leg courses are open to Vascular Surgeons in training. The thoracic course is designated for Advanced Vascular Surgeons.
