Special Session 2002:
Continuation of the Great Debates

Certainties and Uncertainties in Endovascular Therapy

ISES Special Session


Experience the intensity of world-class debate on the foremost topics of controversy in the endovascular world:

  • Is endoluminal grafting the treatment of choice for acute thoracic aortic dissection presenting with arterial compromise and/or ischemia?

  • Is angioplasty and stenting with cerebral protection devices the new gold standard for treatment of carotid bifurcation occlusive disease? 

  • Should every patient be offered an endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm regardless of age or comorbidity?

Are there mechanisms for branch vessel occlusion that preclude vascular repair? How do intermediate and late outcomes of carotid endarterectomy and carotid stenting with embolic protection compare? Do new endovascular devices perform better than the previous generation of devices in the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm? 

These factual and often-times heated discussions among the world's pioneers in endovascular therapy are now available on video tape, audio cassette and CD. Don’t miss out on this educational and informative production.

View a five-minute "slide-show" preview of the full-length audio/visual recordings of these passionate debates conducted during the ISES Special Session, held in conjunction with the 9th Annual General Assembly, held on February 12, 2002.
