European Society for Vascular Surgery: Basic Vascular Ultrasound Course 2023

European Society for Vascular Surgery: Basic Vascular Ultrasound Course is organized by European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) and will be held from Nov 30 - Dec 02, 2023 at Serbian Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, Belgrade, Central Serbia, Serbia.

Objectives: 
Vascular ultrasound provides immediate diagnostic and may provide clinically important information not obtained by any other imaging modality. Vascular ultrasound is harmless and can be performed bedside. The course is a 50% theoretical and 50% hands-on course. During the course, participants will be taught in physics and principles behind vascular ultrasound, ultrasound anatomy, and how to perform basic vascular ultrasound examination: abdominal aorta, femoral arteries, peripheral bypasses, basic carotid ultrasound, deep venous thromboses,  varicose veins and A-V fistula. Classroom sessions will be followed by hands-on sessions, where course participants will have the opportunity to practice under supervision on patients with relevant vascular diseases. This course corresponds to the curriculum of the theoretical part of EFSUMB Level 1 in Vascular Ultrasound (European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology). Attendance in the entire course is mandatory in order to receive a course certificate and CME points.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
