MAC FOCUS 1: Critical Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI)

📅 First Session: April 9, 2025

🔎 Topic: Critical Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI)

Critical Limb Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) is a severe and life-altering condition that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life, often leading to limb amputation. This webinar will tackle the major challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of CLTI, providing the latest insights and strategies for improving patient outcomes.

The webinar is held under the auspices of the MAC Conference, organized by Prof. Dr. Branzan, the Head of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at TUM University Hospital.

Get 2 CME credits!!

📅 Second Session: June, 26, 2025 at 18:00 CET.

🔎 Topic: Aortic Aneurysm Disease

Join us for the MAC FOCUS Webinar on Aortic Aneurysm Disease, the second in a new four-part series hosted under the auspices of the MAC Conference, organized by Prof. Dr. Daniela Branzan, Head of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at TUM University Hospital. This webinar brings together internationally recognized experts to discuss cutting-edge topics in the management of aortic aneurysms.

This educational series addresses major vascular conditions—including Carotid Disease, Aortic Aneurysms, and Venous Disease—with a focus on delivering the latest clinical evidence, innovations, and strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a silent yet potentially fatal condition, often progressing without symptoms until rupture—an event associated with extremely high mortality. Early detection, precise risk assessment, and timely intervention are critical to prevent catastrophic outcomes. This webinar will explore the latest challenges and innovations in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of aortic aneurysms, equipping clinicians with cutting-edge strategies to improve patient survival and care.
Our expert faculty with deep experience in the diagnosis and treatment of Aortic Aneurysm Disease will share their expert insights on a range of topics.
