This is the preliminary program of EVC 2020, taking place on March 22-24 in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The European Cardiovascular Course (ECC) is organized back-to-back with EVC and addresses ascending aorta and aortic arch pathologies.
The UEMS Board of Vascular Surgery will organize the European vascular surgery examinations at EVC on Saturday, March 21.
This year, MedTech Europe has classified EVC as a Third Party Organized Procedure Training, allowing member medical companies to financially support delegates to participate at EVC (travel, hospitality, registration fee).
The main goal of EVC is to provide theoretical and practical education, offering participants the most recent knowledge on arterial, venous, cardiovascular and vascular access subjects.
Supplementary to the invited lectures and edited videos, we organize more than 250 training workshops on diagnostics, decision-making, simulation, team training, scientific education, open and endovascular techniques. Moreover, challenging case discussions in small groups allow you to share your views and
experience with the experts in the field.
