The idea
A meeting that makes a difference
ESVB 2027 brings together physicians, engineers, researchers and industry in a series of translational sessions designed to tackle the unresolved questions of vascular surgery.
Rather than presenting what we already know, we ask the questions that remain unanswered, and bring together the people who can help us answer them.
Key themes 2027
- Aortic and peripheral arterial disease
- Artificial intelligence in the operating room
- Robotics and the future of surgery
- Technologies in cardiovascular surgery
Examples of questions we will explore
- What is the evidence for treating claudication?
- What does vessel preparation really mean, and does it matter?
- What does artificial intelligence change in our daily practice?
- Are physicians ready to work in a surgical cockpit?
