(MAD) Multidisciplinary Aortic Dissection Symposium - June 2-3, 2023 2730 South Moody Avenue, Portland

The objective of this conference is to share current knowledge of all facets of Type A and Type B Aortic Dissection. Specifically, we will aim to review current best practices related to diagnosis and treatment of both type A and B Aortic Dissection and to foster scientific and educational exchange amongst health care professionals interested in managing patients with Aortic Dissection. The “value-added” by this conference is the continuing growth of the community of surgeons, physicians, interventionalists, and allied health care professionals who assess and manage patients who present with acute aortic dissection and/or patients who present with complications of chronic aortic dissection. With the goal of attracting clinicians from a variety of disciplines, this conference not only includes updates on scientific and clinical progress in understanding the etiology and pathogenic mechanisms underlying aortic dissection including advances in medical and surgical management, but also provides a context and platform for emerging science applicable to aortic dissection research. These activities will help us achieve the overarching goal of maintaining a strong, interactive community of endovascular clinicians who have the common goal of advancing the treatment frontiers in thoracic aortic disease.
