Open Aortic Training Course

With the reduction in open vascular cases, there is increasing concern that trainees have fewer opportunities to build their open skills. This is particularly concerning with open aortic repair, where the advent of endografts has resulted in a dramatic reduction in the experience level of finishing trainees. Lack of aortic experience is the number one concern for trainees and program directors alike. Open Aortic Training is an intensive two-day course focused exclusively on open aortic repair and is the first of its kind in the United States that attempts to address this gap in aortic experience.
