This document provides information about an upcoming international symposium on endovascular therapeutics to be held in São Paulo, Brazil from April 23-26, 2014. The symposium will feature sessions on unsolved problems in endovascular approaches to the thoracic aorta, abdominal aorta, and lower limb revascularization. It will also address emerging technologies and solutions needed for endovascular procedures in the next decade. The event is endorsed by CICE and aims to bring together endovascular practitioners, bioengineers, and industry managers.

2. TOPIC 1 (25’) UNSOLVED PROBLEMS IN ENDOVASCULAR APPROACH OF THORACIC AORTA
Issues to be discussedThe ascending thoracic endografts: Real need? / Arch branches: Debranching,
CHIMPs, branched endografts… The end of the history? / Peroperative navigation / Stroke and
paraplegia prevention / The cranial migration of thoracic endografts
FacultyG. Espinosa (Brasil) and J.P. Carbonell (Colombia)
TOPIC 2 (25’) UNSOLVED PROBLEMS IN ENDOVASCULAR APPROACH OF ABDOMINAL AORTA
Issues to be discussedThe hostile necks: CHIMPs vs fenestrated vs open surgery / Iliac aneurysms
and hypogastric perfusion / Automatic measurement and planning / Peroperative navigation /
Simulation: training and clinical value / Robotics?
FacultyP.G. Silveira (Brasil) and L. Bechara (Argentina)
TOPIC 3 (25’) UNSOLVED PROBLEMS IN LOWER LIMB REVASCULARIZATION
Issues to be discussedDrug eluting technology is it enough? / Bioabsorbable scaffolding is it the final
frontier? / The in stent re-stenosis / The edge hyperplasia in covered stents / The angiosome relevance
FacultyJ. Fernandez Noya (Spain) and I. Murillo (Mexico)
