The Edinburgh Aortic Summit 2025, taking place on 12–13 June 2025 at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, is a leading international event bringing together experts in cardiovascular surgery, anaesthesia, and radiology to explore the latest advancements in aortic disease diagnosis, surgical treatment, and perioperative care. The Summit covers key topics such as the aortic root, ascending aorta, aortic arch, thoracoabdominal aorta, and complex endovascular approaches, providing invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of aortic care, including innovations like AI in vascular surgery
This event complements our Scottish Aortic Dissection Education Event, which focuses on the emergency diagnosis and management of aortic dissection. While our event is designed specifically for paramedics and emergency medicine professionals, offering hands-on training in pre-hospital management, emergency simulations, and Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), the Edinburgh Aortic Summit provides a broad perspective, addressing surgical interventions and long-term patient management.
Together, these events create a well-rounded educational experience for Scottish Health Care Professionals. Our event ensures that frontline healthcare professionals have the skills to recognise and manage aortic dissection in acute settings. At the same time, the Edinburgh Aortic Summit offers deeper insight into the latest surgical and interventional advancements. Their shared focus on improving aortic care makes attending both highly beneficial for professionals working across the emergency and surgical care spectrum.
