Guest Speakers:
There will be number of guest speakers during the workshops. In 2019 we were delighted to welcome Dr. Bolia as guest lecturer on the VaLSA EndoSim Workshop. He published the original description of sub-intimal angioplasty in 1989 and has championed this technique for the treatment of lower limb peripheral arterial disease ever since. Dr. Bolia delivered a talk detailing a lifetime of experience (10000+ cases) in treating patients with lower limb arterial steno-occlusive disease with sub-intimal angioplasty.
