This specific and unique vascular course aims at improving knowledge of anatomical access to the thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta and supra-aortic vessels including sternotomy and first rib resection. Numerous vascular reconstruction procedures on supraaortic vessels can be performed. Open descending aorta and thoracoabdominal aortic repair is practiced. The course enables anatomic dissections and practice on fresh cadavers, with the contribution of experts in this field of complex vascular surgery. The thoracic course is designated for Advanced Vascular and Cardiac Surgeons.
