AORTIC LIVE is an international, academically led symposium focused entirely on diseases of the thoracic and abdominal aorta. The event brings together leading specialists from across the world to explore the realities of contemporary aortic care, from diagnosis and planning through to intervention, complication management and long-term outcomes.
Centred on authentic clinical practice, AORTIC LIVE features live open, endovascular and hybrid procedures, offering delegates a rare opportunity to observe decision-making and technical strategy as it happens. The programme is designed to encourage transparency, critical discussion and meaningful learning across the multidisciplinary teams involved in aortic care.
