CIRSE 2016

Dear Colleagues,


The most recent CIRSE meeting in Lisbon was another record-breaker: over 6,600 delegates travelled to Europe’s most westerly capital to join us for 4.5 days of science, education and innovation. The unique programme offered by CIRSE allows participants to stay abreast of technological advances and new indications for image-guided therapies, and exchange high-level scientific information in an international setting.

Endovascular Programme

Last year featured both an expansion of the venous intervention sessions on offer, and the introduction of a parallel multidisciplinary EVAR/TEVAR programme, the Interdisciplinary Endovascular Aortic Symposium (IDEAS). Based on the enthusiastic response of those participating, the SPC has decided to repackage the vascular sessions into an Endovascular Programme, which will be clearly stratified into three distinct categories: arterial interventions, venous interventions and arterial interventions, aortic interventions, the latter being presented within the framework of IDEAS 2016.
