on the Spot!
Workshop in Athens

Event overview
In light of last year's great success, we are pleased to announce an intensive hands-on workshop with international faculty on advanced diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy. The two-day course will take place in the renowned Sotiria Chest Diseases Hospital and the Interventional Pulmonology Unit of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, under the direction of Prof. Grigoris Stratakos.
With the presence of international faculty, this varied course consists of live demonstrations, lectures and practical activities covering topics such as central airway obstruction, mediastinal cryobiopsy, bleeding management, foreign body removal, ILD diagnosis and thoracoscopic biopsy modalities.
Participants will further enhance their interventional endoscopic skills through extensive hands-on training with cryo technology, argon plasma coagulation and electrosurgery, using ex-vivo and certified simulator models, guided by leading international experts.
