Following the success of our first Aortic Summit in 2019 and our second in 2021, we are pleased to be back for our 3^rd edition!

This time we will go “Back to the roots”, back to Lugano, and

“FOCUS ON THE AORTIC ARCH”.

The arch is where all specialities come together and where the biggest potential for interdisciplinary collaboration is present, which is also the mission of the Aortic Association.

Understanding the disease forms the basis, being familiar with the treatment options available enlarges the armamentarium and being able to implement them into clinical practice provides the freedom and the flexibility to offer sustainable personalized solutions to treat patients with acute and chronic thoracic aortic pathology in an aortic team.

During this summit, you will be taken on a journey through the entire aorta and its branches, sharing expertise with a world-renowned faculty, and you will have the opportunity to practice during numerous workshops by addressing both open surgery and endovascular therapy.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Lugano in 2023!

This format ignites numerous exciting discussions every year and it is our pleasure to invite you to join us for the C3 Meeting 2023 from 10 – 12 December 2023 in Graz.

Interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and many other specialists travel from Europe and the entire world to share their expertise on consensus – controversies – compromise and to debate on the management of cardiovascular pathologies.

Pro-Con Discussions, State-of-the-Art Lectures, and transmission of Live-Procedures from Vienna and Graz are the environment of this meeting to discuss patient-specific options by personalized decisions, challenge Guidelines and unveil real unmet medical needs.
