Fellows Summit

The PNEC Simulation Summit for Vascular Trainees offers the opportunity of focused training and certification in the use of endovascular techniques for the management of aortic dissection and rAAA. The Summit provides senior cardiovascular trainees a forum to learn advanced endovascular techniques for the management of aortic dissection and ruptured AAA (rAAA). It also allows the senior trainees the opportunity to attend PNEC, the premier endovascular meeting in the Pacific Northwest. The PNEC Simulation Summit for Vascular Trainees will be held at the Conference Convention Center at Convention Place on Thursday, May 23, 2019, the day prior to PNEC.
