Razionale scientifico

Due to demographic change, we are witnessing a significant increase in life expectancy, which determines a population of increasingly older and biologically fragile vascular patients. This condition requires the search for diagnostic procedures and therapeutic techniques that have the least possible impact on the precarious physio-pathological balance. Luckily, technological development supports the growth of increasingly less invasive treatments that can be well tolerated by frail patients. For this reason, Vascular Surgery is experiencing a moment of great renewal, both in the indications for treatments and in surgical techniques. In Vascular Surgery, particular importance has the complex aortic aneurysmal disease of both thoracic and abdominal components. In the past, the first line of treatment for these diseases was of exclusive domain of the "Open" surgery which, however, was characterized by significant complications and mortality. Currently the continuous technological evolution of both endoprosthetic devices and diagnostic imaging allows the treatment of potentially fatal vascular pathologies with minimally invasive procedures. The endovascular procedures, within the limits of the correct indications, ensure favorable short and middle term results. During the various sessions of the Congress a large number of specialists will debate the most recent progress regarding topics of particular interest, focusing on the comparison of both specific clinical cases and different orientations resulting from daily clinical experience.
