The 27th international
experts symposium
For over 25 years, Critical Issues in Aortic Endografting has set the annual standard for the latest technologies and debates in aortic interventions worldwide. This year's programme continues that tradition. Amid unprecedented change and global uncertainty, Critical Issues will gather experts to discuss, debate, and showcase the newest and most significant trends.
Following tradition, the meeting has moved locations once again, and we are proud to host it in Paris, France.
The atmosphere will be as open and friendly as ever, fostering intense discussions and debates. We eagerly anticipate your contributions and challenging questions as we advance the field together.
Get ready for Critical Issues 2025!
