Lorenzo Patrone (London, UK), course director of the Find Your Algorithm (FYA) congress, speaks to Vascular News about the highlights of this year’s meeting (27 February–1 March, London, UK).
In particular, Patrone points to a lecture on endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) pioneer Nicolai Volodos. Responding to a question on whether it was Volodos or Juan Parodi who performed the first EVAR, Patrone remarks that they both must be celebrated as the “founding fathers” of the procedure. “Today, if we’re talking about complex aortic stenting, it’s because of their work.”
