• endovascular approaches to aortic pathology often require adjunctive, less frequently used open techniques

• the decreased exposure to open aortic pathology often required in emergency setting does influence outcomes

• achieving competence for open aortic surgery, promoting specialist skills and preventing de-skilling may be obtained using alternative

Objectives

• to practice the common vascular exposures used for thoracic and abdominal aorta on cadavers

• to practice and discuss open surgical techniques for aneurysmal aortic disease, aortic dissections and infected aortas, thoracic, abdominal

and thoraco-abdominal

• to discuss needs, strategic steps, milestones in our aim of running a high quality aortic service in the West Yorkshire region
