Vascular Courses

VASCULAR Kurse1VASCULAR INTERNATIONAL courses are recognised worldwide for their highest quality and their unique combination of practical training, theory and precise usage of innovative industrial products. The course programmes and teaching methods are constantly further developed based on scientific evaluation of the individual learning success and learning curve. VI courses offer the full spectrum of open and endovascular surgery. New courses are available for shunt- surgery and ultrasound. Many vascular societies now integrate VI courses in their training programmes. They are a perfect preparation for the European vascular surgery specialist exam of UEMS. Since 1991, more than 2,000 participants have been trained in more than 90 national and international courses.
