Physician-modified endografts – FULLY BOOKED

Host & trainer: Vladimir Makaloski, Csaba Csobay-Novák

Date: May 29, 2025, 8:30-18:00

Venue: Heart and Vascular Center, Semmelweis University, Városmajor str 68, 1122 Budapest

Fee: 500.00 EUR

This will be a practical workshop on physician-modified devices in the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms.

Participants will be able to become familiar with the PMD workflow1 of the Semmelweis Aortic Center:

    • plan a fenestrated EVAR with a physician-modified device for a juxtarenal aortic aneurysm
    • learn how to translate the planned fenestrations onto a specific device utilizing the punch card technique2
    • learn how to create a CMD-like3 reinforcement with a Hungaroring4
    • learn how to create a non-perforating diameter reduction5
    • learn how to reload the device into the original delivery system
    • deploy the device under fluoroscopy in a 3D printed model as part of a dry run in a hybrid OR.


THIS COURSE IS FULLY BOOKED.
