The scientific committee includes well renowned national and international vascular surgeons. The main topics are aneurysms, aortic dissections, carotid interventions, peripheral occlusive diseases, vascular accesses and interventions for venous diseases.

On Saturday, a parallel session devoted to venous topics will provide the delegates with the most up-to-date information.

For the first time a session co organized with the French Society of Young Vascular Surgeon , SICCV will take place on Saturday afternoon

Hands-on training sessions will be available for participants on Friday afternoon.

Finally, symposia devoted to specific vascular issues will complete the course.

Since the first meeting 27 years ago, the concept of CACVS, along with a very busy schedule, has never disappointed the attendees whose number has been steadily growing every year. In January, Paris “the city of lights” is full of interests and surprises and the Marriott Rive Gauche hotel is an exceptional place extremely well located.

The faculty includes world-wide renowned experts who were carefully selected according to their peculiar knowledge in the topics they will present. Finally the combination of thorough and casual approaches allows fruitful exchanges between speakers and delegates.
