About Course
Course Overview – Branched EVAR Planning and Sizing
Master the technical and anatomical fundamentals of branched endovascular aortic repair (BEVAR) with this in-depth, hands-on planning course. Designed for vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and advanced trainees, this course guides you through the essential steps of case selection, anatomical assessment, and preoperative sizing for complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
You will learn how to:
-
Understand indications and contraindications for BEVAR, including patient selection and aortic morphology
-
Perform precise measurements and centerline reconstruction using
-
advanced CTA datasets
-
Apply planning software tools to identify ideal landing zones, branch vessel orientation, and graft customization
-
Interpret visceral and renal artery takeoffs, diameter thresholds, and access limitations
-
Compare different branched and multibranched device platforms, including off-the-shelf and custom-made options
-
Anticipate procedural challenges, including bridging stent alignment, cannulation difficulty, and spinal cord protection planning
This course includes real-world planning cases, 3D imaging libraries, and downloadable checklists to help you develop confidence in device sizing, design selection, and anatomical readiness for complex BEVAR procedures.
