1 European Vascular Masterclass Pontresina, January 30 February 1st, 2013 ORGANISED BY: VASCULAR INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL AG Schiltweid 4 CH-6363 Fürigen

2 Welcome Dear Colleagues and Delegates, on behalf of the faculty and organizers, it is a great privilege and honor to warmly welcome you to the European Vascular Workshops in Pontresina. We are very proud and happy to conclude, that European Vascular Workshop with over 20 years history, has become the number one platform for practical hands-on training and education in vascular open techniques and interventional endovascular procedures in Europe. These worldwide unique workshops have proved over the last years to be a very effective postgraduate training method both for beginners in general surgery and advanced vascular surgeons, the techniques used are part of the Fellowship of European Board of Vascular Surgery (FEBVS) exam. The success of these European workshops is in great part due to the importance of practical training on state-of-the-art infrastructure and the intensive supervision by the multi-lingual European tutors team who have vast experience in vascular surgery and teaching. Our basic and masterclass workshops provide excellent hands-on experience on pulsatile realistic models (to perform open straight forward and complex aortic repair, endovascular aortic reconstruction, carotid endarterectomy and distal bypass surgery) and virtual simulators (for carotid, iliac and renal interventions). The close tutorstudent interaction guarantees an intensive learning process. Also the instruments, lightning and video relay are sophisticated. There is a rotating programme (4 different work stations) both in basic course and masterclass, you will operate in pairs of two or three using original vascular grafts, sutures, endomaterial (i.e. wires, catheters, ballons, stents) and abdominal and thoracic endografts. The training atmosphere is relaxed and full discussion is encouraged. Limited seats are available, so please register early! Join us for an enriching learning experience. We hope that you are as excited about Pontresina Workshop 2012 as we are and looking forward to meet you there!
