INDUSTRY

Where endovascular meets innovation.

February 8-12, 2009

When advances take place in endovascular technologies and techniques they’re announced at International Congress through a combination of peer-reviewed abstract presentations by an international faculty, live-case demonstrations of complex interventions, debates, and panel discussions.

Including the concurrent pre-International Congress XXII conferences:

  • Thoracic Endografting and Beyond
