The endovascular treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI) and diabetic foot has become an important and promising approach for revascularization of femoral, tibial and foot arteries, improving clinical outcomes and supporting limb salvage. The endovascular therapy for CLI is growing and evolving in terms of therapeutic indications, allowing us to improve our clinical daily practice in diabetic foot treatment and limb salvage.

This therapy is in continuing evolution, and directly related to new technical strategies and devices development. Learning and reviewing the basis, tips & tricks and mastering the techniques and therapeutic indications are essential to manage complex cases of diabetic CLI patients. Actually, most of endovascular specialists are interested in learning and treating this complex condition. For this reason we conceived this event, to support all this initiatives.

Our main objective in developing this conference is to gather experts from all around the world and our audience, to interact and share together, in a very friendly atmosphere. Based on a live-cases model, this event will focus on a step-by-step approach for each live procedure, supported by didactic discussions about decision making, technical strategies and therapies. The entire endovascular community dedicated to CLI will find in this conference the opportunity to fill the current gaps in the treatment of patients with Critical Limb Ischemia.
