Beyond the Calcium Barrier with Shockwave IVL - A Case-based rotational workshop defining IVL´s role in a vascular surgeons practice
The workshop is designed as a highly interactive, case-based educational session where participants rotate through dedicated stations addressing key challenges in contemporary vascular surgery practice.
-
Station 1 - Interventional Approaches to CLTI
Focus: A balanced review of PAD treatment options in the context of CLTI, evaluating when to apply each modality—such as vessel preparation, adjunctive therapies, and alternatives to stenting—based on patient anatomy and lesion characteristics.
ReferentIn_: Jos C. van den Berg (Lugano)
-
Station 2 – Tools and Techniques for Complex BTK Lesions
Focus: Methods for crossing and preparing below-the-knee lesions, with attention to selecting appropriate techniques to optimize limb salvage.
-
Station 3 – Optimizing Hostile Access
Focus: Clinical strategies for managing complex iliac access, including the role of Shockwave IVL in mitigating procedural risk and simplifying treatment in heavily calcified anatomy.
