This document provides the program details for the International Symposium on Endovascular Therapeutics conference to be held in Barcelona, Spain on May 9th, 2014. The one-day event will focus on reviewing current limitations and unmet needs in endovascular therapies for aortic repair and lower limb revascularization. It will feature panel discussions with international experts on topics such as thoracic endografting challenges and unsolved abdominal aortic aneurysm cases. The program also includes confidential sessions where medical device companies can share new products and concepts still in development. All sessions aim to identify future directions in endovascular therapies through direct interaction between attendees.

Dear participant,
SITEupdate
is a new fresh formula for a useful expert event. In only one day, Faculty
and an international advanced audience will review the unmet needs concerning
two particular Focuses: Aorta repair and lower limb revascularization. The main
objective is to identify current limitations and propose future directions.
It is a new initiative with a different format than we usually have in conventional
meetings and congresses. There are no classical presentations, except for clinical
cases, unsolved or unsuitable cases, to be discussed with the selected expert
audience in order to discover unmet needs in endovascular therapies. Committed
Medical Device Companies are invited to share their pipelines and new concepts
during the CONFIDENTIAL SESSIONS.
Alltheparticipantsareexpertsonendovascularprocedures,bioengineering,industry
management, technological evaluation, and health management administration. All
of you, panellists and delegates should interact during the discussion periods. A real
brainstorming is expected following a clear script and driven by two moderators in
a real academic atmosphere.
All the sessions, except for the Confidential ones, will be recorded and uploaded on
www.endovascular.tv. A streaming platform and free wi-fi connection are provided.
We hope you enjoy these interactive sessions and collaborate to develop new ideas
to improve endovascular therapies.
Welcome and thank you for your collaboration
V. Riambau
SITE Chairman
