Ambar Bhattacharya, Takmaa News, Kolkata, 13th July 2024 : Endovascular treatment is a minimally invasive option and an alternative to open surgery, which avoids adjacent tissue damage and has potentially lower morbidity and mortality rates than conventional management.
The 4th Endo Vascular Management-India (EVM-i) Skill Course: CME cum Live Workshop concluded successfully on July 13th, 2024, at the Sonnet Hotel and HP Ghosh Hospital in Kolkata. This exclusive event, provided an immersive learning experience for medical professionals, focusing on the latest advancements in endovascular management.
Conducted by Dr. Jayanta Das and Dr. K. Mukherjee, the workshop covered critical areas such as varicose vein and venous leg ulcer (VLU) management, peripheral arterial disease (PAD) management (angioplasty and stenting), compression garments and devices, and wound management. Participants engaged in hands-on simulation stations, gaining practical experience in medical instruments and hardware, endovenous ablation, angioplasty and stenting, and vascular anastomosis.
