Dear fans of endovascular interventions, respected colleagues, partners
The month of October every two years is reserved for the traditional multidisciplinary meeting of endovascular medicine organized by the Croatian Endovascular Initiative (HEVI) with international participation, where we promote the indications, techniques and achieved possibilities of endovascular treatment methods in patients with vascular diseases.
Therefore, from Thursday, October 3, 2024 to Saturday, October 5, 2024, we are organizing HEVI 2024, which will be held in hotel Hilton Garden Inn in Zagreb.
Preparations for HEVI 2024 are in full swing and the final work of both the organizers and all the participants (lecturers, moderators, panelists and sponsors) is ahead of us so that we can all create a quality program together and make an additional step forward compared to previous years.
The entire HEVI 2024 program and the thematic units of endovascular interventions will be based almost exclusively on a "case-based" approach with panels that will be mostly organized on the principle of in favor or contra. We have included experts from different specialties who participate in patient selection, endovascular treatment and in follow up of the effect of endovascular interventions.
This year's HEVI 2024 covers topics in the areas of thoracic aorta, carotid arteries, abdominal aorta, renal arteries, iliac arteries, peripheral arteries of the legs, veins and pulmonary embolism..
As a novelty in the program at HEVI 2024, we are introducing renal endovascular interventions with the theme of revascularization in renovascular disease (RVD) and the treatment of arterial hypertension using the endovascular renal denervation (RDN) method. An additional novelty is the introduction of sections for endovascular interventions in diseases of the ascending segment of the thoracic aorta and aortic arch, a section for aneurysms of the thoracoabdominal aorta and a separate section for acute aortic syndrome. Peripheral arterial interventions will be discussed and presented in HEVI 2024 through a different principle compared to previous meetings, which includes sections focused on different endovascular techniques, tools and forms of lesion preparation and the final selection of therapies in lesions of different anatomical, morphological and clinical complexity.
The HEVI 2024 program largely depends on you, our lecturers, moderators and panelists, therefore we hereby encourage you to collect important endovascular interventions that can be used in sections based on patient reports and interventions. Moderators and panelists are encouraged to participate in comments and discussions, to use recent literary references and "cutting edge" technological achievements in materials and techniques.
Everyone's favorite format "Live in the Box" presentation of the practical performance of endovascular interventions at HEVI 2024 continues with new indications and materials in the field of endovascular interventions.
Meetings of professionals and partners from the industry that offer us options for treating patients is always an important part of HEVI meetings in addition to the main scientific program. Sponsorship programs will be carried out through satellite symposia, "LITB" interventions, material promotions at industry stands and through informal meetings in a relaxed atmosphere in front of the main meeting hall.
We look forward to welcoming you all again in Zagreb and hope you have a great time!
