LX 27’
Featured Course
A multi-day immersive learning experience built around real aortic cases.
Participants follow the complete therapeutic pathway from diagnosis to long-term follow-up. Each case is analysed from its pathophysiological foundations, morphologically dissected using advanced imaging, and planned with state-of-the-art sizing platforms, predictive modelling tools, and AI-assisted decision support.
Treatment strategies are then tested in realistic simulation environments before being executed in a next-generation hybrid operating room ecosystem incorporating modern imaging, workflow integration, and emerging robotic technologies.
Following each intervention, participants evaluate postoperative management, surveillance strategies, and long-term outcomes. The actual clinical results of the featured cases are revealed and critically analysed, allowing participants to understand why different patients with seemingly similar aneurysms often require fundamentally different treatment strategies.
LX 27' is designed to develop a new generation of endovascular specialists capable of delivering truly personalised aortic therapy through the integration of clinical expertise, advanced planning, simulation, big-data analytics, artificial intelligence, and next-generation procedural technologies.

What Sets Our COURSE Apart
01 / REAL CASE IMMERSION
Learn from real patients, not hypothetical scenarios.
Each module is built around actual aortic cases treated at LUKS. Participants follow the complete journey from diagnosis and imaging to treatment planning, simulation, intervention, follow-up, and final outcome analysis.
You will understand why seemingly similar aneurysms often require fundamentally different therapeutic strategies.
02 / PLANNING & DEPLOYMENT
Master the most important step: planning.
Participants work with advanced imaging datasets, predictive sizing tools, device selection algorithms, and procedural simulations to develop individualized treatment plans.
The focus is on translating anatomical complexity into precise procedural execution.
03 / HYBRID-OR & SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
Train where modern aortic therapy actually happens.
Experience next-generation hybrid operating workflows, imaging integration, advanced endovascular techniques, and emerging robotic technologies in a realistic clinical environment.
The goal is not only knowledge acquisition, but the development of practical skills, procedural confidence, and decision-making competence.
