CX AORTIC VIENNA RETURNED LAST OCTOBER FOR ITS third edition (24–26 October, Digital), bringing together world-leading specialists from the cardiac and vascular fields to discuss all facets of aortic care from selection to investigation, diagnosis, techniques and technologies. The meeting showcased the latest approaches—open and endovascular—for the treatment of complex aortic problems spanning the aortic valve to the iliac arteries. The 2022 edition featured three days of high-quality digital programming, delivering a total of 15 hours of aortic education, which is currently available on-demand to registered attendees.

The full programme was curated by a Vascular, Endovascular and Cardiothoracic Executive board comprised of leaders in the field of aortic care including CX Aortic Vienna founding chair Roger Greenhalgh (London, UK), alongside Tilo Kölbel (Hamburg, Germany), Afshin Assadian (Vienna, Austria), Roberto Chiesa (Milan, Italy), Martin Grabenwöger (Vienna, Austria), Stéphan Haulon (Paris, France), Gustavo Oderich (Houston, USA), Markus Steinbauer (Regensburg, Germany) and Alexander Zimmermann (Zürich, Switzerland).

The format for the digital edition followed the CX style of short talks, debates, and audience interaction, presented live via broadcast. Podium presentations focusing on open and endovascular aortic data, techniques and technologies were punctuated by a series of edited aortic cases. The programme encompassed discussion and debate spanning key talking points in the aortic space including aortic arch interventions, thoracic dissection, thoracic imaging, thoracoabdominal techniques, juxtarenal, abdominal aortic and iliac artery therapies.

The importance of multidisciplinary aortic approaches was a key strand running through CX Aortic Vienna’s content and discussion, and the 2022 event continued its mission to bring together specialists of all skills to provide a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge aortic treatment.

Audience polling is central to the CX model, with the charts on this page offering a visual representation of the outcomes of key debates and discussions. Stay tuned for more information about CX Aortic Vienna 2023.
