Vienna in focus: Future of aortic surgery at Visar Symposium 2025!

On April 30, 2025, Vienna became the center of aortic surgery when the University Clinic for Heart and Thoracic Aortic Surgery, the clinical department for vascular surgery and the clinical department for cardiovascular and interventional radiology from the Vienna- Vienna Interdisciplinary Symposium on Aortic Repair organize. The event will take place on May 8 and 9, 2025 in the House of Industry and is considered an important platform for specialists from all over the world.

Visar has established itself as a leading congress platform since the 1990s, which deals with the surgical and interventional treatment of the aorta. According to the organizers, aortic supply at AKH Vienna NEWERMENTION, innovation and patient care at the highest level. The program includes scientific lectures by international experts and live operations directly from the surgical halls of the AKH Vienna.

Equipment and content of the congress

The trade visitors can look forward to a large number of innovative procedures. This includes new hybrid processes as well as complex open and endovascular techniques, such as horse surgery and the frozen elephant trunk process. Particular attention is also paid to the extraction and promotion of the medical youngsters. The future generation of aortic surgeons is intended to support a training forum with realistic simulation training, such as vascular punctures and virtual operations in VR environments.

The congress not only represents the current state of aortic surgery, but also sets a strong sign for the future and patient security. This is done in the context of the official recognition of the Aorta as an independent organ.

Effects of cardiovascular diseases

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a significant health challenge because they affect both the heart and the blood vessels. These diseases are the most common cause of death in men and women in the United States. In Turkey, they ranked at the top of the cause of death statistics in 2017. Risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption and unbalanced nutrition play a crucial role and underline the need for prevention.

A reasonable and balanced diet as well as medical nutritional therapy are crucial for the prevention and treatment of CVD. According to a report by the SACN, a diet -rich diet means that every additional absorption of 7 grams of fiber reduces the risk of CVD by 9 percent. Inadequate calcium consumption can increase blood pressure, which is why the daily consumption of milk, yoghurt and cheese is recommended with little salinity. It is important to carry out regular health examinations, especially for overweight people who should consult a nutritionist.

A conscious diet that contains vegetables, fruit, herbal or animal protein and fish can contribute significantly to reduce the CVD risk. On the other hand, the consumption of processed meat, trans fats, refined carbohydrates and sugary packed food should be avoided as far as possible. Linking cardiovascular diseases and future-oriented training in aortic surgery will be a central topic in this symposium.
