CACVS 2016

Log in and attend the Controversies & Updates in Vascular Surgery congress live!

FREE & UNLIMITED ACCESS

CACVS is one of the major interactive post graduate course for vascular surgeons, cardiac surgeons, vascular radiologists and angiologists in Europe.

Enjoy two and a half days addressing all aspects of vascular diseases and their treatments.
Learn about the most recent available data about on-going or recently published trials, technical advances of open vascular or endovascular procedures and participate in debates on controversial topics.
Discover how international experts deal with the challenging clinical cases that will be presented. 

Two parallel sessions will take place on Friday reviewing the most recent data on vascular access in the morning and on AAA and EVAR in the afternoon (detailed program on broadcast pages).
You will have access to both sessions selecting Main Auditorium or Room B broadcast below.
Depending on the language preferred on your incathlab account, you will attend in the English or French version.

After the conference, the VOD will be available with unlimited access.
