The 2nd EVA (Endo Vascular Access) Meeting is a multidisciplinary meeting focusing on the endovascular management of vascular access. It is a 2-day meeting taking place in Patras University Campus in Greece on June 24-25, 2022. Meeting’s faculty is a multidisciplinary one including nephrologists,interventional nephrologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional radiologists and a multi-national one with speakers from Europe the United States, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific regions. Its aim is to bring doctors with an interest in vascular access management together, discuss the latest updates, innovations and unmet needs in this interesting and demanding field. The meeting will include 19 sessions and 3 live cases from the Interventional Radiology Department of Patras University Hospital. The sessions will include the latest data on trial updates, endoAVF management, guidelines update, a session dedicated to cephalic arch, an out-of-the-box session, innovation on ESKD, vascular access imaging and central venous catheters. Additionally, the program will include two controversy sessions on paclitaxel-coated balloons and on devices used for stenosis treatment. Meeting directors will have an “Amazing Interventions” contest for junior doctors performing endovascular procedures in vascular access. The best 5 most interesting cases will get a free registration to the meeting together with all the expenses needed for traveling and accommodation covered. EVA Meeting welcomes this year a collaboration with 3 other major congresses. The CiDA (Controversies in Dialysis Access) congress from the United States, the DASy (Dialysis Access synergy) congress by the SoDAS (Society of Dialysis Access Specialists) from the Asia-Pacific region and the PAIRS (Pan-Arabic Interventional Radiology Society) congress from the Middle East. There will be three 45-minute “@EVA” sessions dedicated to these congresses.
