Overview
In September 2022 we hosted our 2nd national Irish aortic dissection education event in partnership with The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and supported by Artivion.
This free event was CPD accredited to those who attended the day and brought together leading experts in aortic education from across Ireland and the UK. The sessions explored aortic dissection diagnosis and subsequent surgical treatment options through a mixture of lectures, simulation, the patient perspective, wetlabs and expert panel discussion.
