Makis Avgerinos (Athens, Greece), co-director of the venous programme for the European Vascular Course (EVC), speaks to Venous News at this year’s meeting (9–11 March, Maastricht, The Netherlands).
Avgerinos outlines some highlights the venous agenda at EVC 2025, including a focus on novel technologies, artificial intelligence and—for the first time—pulmonary embolism (PE). Interventions for PE “should be part of the armamentarium of vascular surgeons,” he says, whilst also emphasising the importance of multispecialty care.
In addition, Avgerinos points to the upcoming Venous Symposium Europe 2025 (30 October–1 November, Athens, Greece)—the second iteration of the event—for which he is a co-director. The format, he tells Vascular News, will be “educational, scientific, but mainly interactive” through discussion and workshops.
