| Comment: | This will be an interactive, intensely practical conference on the modern management of diseases of the aorta. The aorta has been described as the “orphan organ†in recognition of the lack of a natural home within a defined medical or surgical speciality.
We believe that patients with aortic disease or aortopathy are best looked after by a cardiovascular team comprising surgeons, interventional and non-interventional cardiologists, radiologists and clinical geneticists. Over these two days we will explore four controversial areas: Dissection Thoraco-abdominal aneurysm Congenital or inherited aortopathy Technology and the aorta Conventional surgery has become significantly safer over the last 5 years but the technology of endovascular stenting has also progressed rapidly. The optimal management of these patients remains highly controversial and so the fourth section of our meeting will focus on 'New technology'. |
