A look into the endovascular crystal ball.

This paper summarizes the highlights of the 15 th International Workshop of Endovascular Surgery, held in Ajaccio in June 2008. This is an annual event that attracts leading endovascular tharapists from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean as well as a contingecy from down-under. The layout of this meeting followed the previous events with sessions on carotid artery disease and abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms topped up with clinical cases, lower limb ischemia and venous disease. Genreally the session takes off by summarising new evidence, followed by questions and dissussion. This workshops gives the participants an excellent opportunity to get an updated perspective within these fast developing areas.
