FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
What is Paris Vascular Insights?
Paris Vascular Insights is a Paris-based vascular meeting listed for 3-5 December 2026. Its focus is the diagnosis and treatment of arterial, venous and vascular access disease, with content of interest to vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, angiologists and allied vascular professionals. Check the organiser programme for the final topic list and session formats.
Where is the 2026 edition held?
The listed venue is Les Salles du Carrousel du Louvre in central Paris, beneath the Carrousel du Louvre shopping centre at 99 rue de Rivoli. The closest metro stations are Louvre-Rivoli on Line 1 and Palais Royal-Musee du Louvre on Lines 1 and 7.
Who should attend Paris Vascular Insights?
The meeting is aimed at clinicians and teams who manage vascular disease: vascular and endovascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, vascular medicine physicians, phlebologists, vascular sonographers, cath-lab staff, trainees and clinical researchers. Industry medical affairs and device development teams also attend to follow technique and evidence discussions.
Is registration open and what does it cost?
Registration is handled through the organiser at paris-vascular-insights.com. Fees, categories and deadlines are set by the organiser and were not captured in this listing, so check the registration page before booking travel. Do not rely on third-party ticket resellers.
Do I need a visa to attend from outside the EU?
Possibly. France applies Schengen rules, so visa-exempt travellers can generally enter for short visits, while visa-required nationalities need a Schengen short-stay visa. Confirm with the French embassy or consulate in your country. If an invitation letter is required, request it from the organiser after registering.
How do I get from CDG or Orly to the venue?
From Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), take RER B to Chatelet-Les Halles and walk roughly 10-15 minutes, or continue by metro to Louvre-Rivoli. From Paris Orly (ORY), take the Orlyval shuttle to Antony, join RER B, then continue to Chatelet-Les Halles. Taxis and ride-hailing are available, but journey times vary with traffic.
Where should I stay for the meeting?
The Louvre, Rivoli and Palais Royal areas in the 1st and 2nd arrondissements are walkable to the venue. Opera and Concorde in the 8th and 9th offer larger business hotels and a short Line 1 ride. Marais and the central right-bank fringe are useful value alternatives, while Left Bank and Bercy options can suit rail arrivals or longer stays.
What is the weather like in early December?
Cool and often damp, with typical daytime highs around 6-9 C and overnight lows around 2-5 C. Rain is possible, and daylight is short. Bring a waterproof layer and shoes suitable for walking between metro stations and the venue.
Will sessions be in English or French?
The organiser programme should state the working language. International vascular meetings in Paris often use English for plenary and case sessions, with French used in some national or local sessions. Check the programme or ask the organiser if you need confirmation.
Can I exhibit or sponsor?
Exhibiting and sponsorship are managed by the organiser. Booth prices, sponsor packages and deadlines were not captured in this listing, so contact the organiser directly through the official site. Do not assume space is available on arrival.
Are sessions CME accredited?
CME or continuing education accreditation was not captured for this edition. Check the organiser programme and registration page for accreditation statements, learning objectives and certificate details.
What topics are likely on the programme?
The organiser programme should confirm the final topic list. For a Paris vascular meeting of this profile, expect case-based content on aortic aneurysm repair, peripheral arterial disease and chronic limb-threatening ischemia, carotid disease, venous insufficiency and vascular access, plus imaging and endovascular technique.
Glossary
- Angiography
- X-ray imaging of blood vessels after contrast injection, used to diagnose vascular disease and guide endovascular treatment.
- Endovascular therapy
- Treating vascular disease from inside the vessel using catheters, balloons, stents, coils or other devices, usually through a small puncture.
- Aortic aneurysm
- A permanent dilation of the aorta. Repair may be open surgical or endovascular with a stent graft.
- EVAR
- Endovascular aneurysm repair: placing a stent graft inside an abdominal aortic aneurysm to exclude the aneurysm sac from blood flow.
- TEVAR
- Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair: stent-graft treatment of the descending thoracic aorta for aneurysm, dissection or injury.
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
- Narrowing or blockage of arteries outside the heart and brain, most often in the legs, causing claudication, rest pain or tissue loss.
- Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI)
- Advanced PAD with rest pain, non-healing wounds or gangrene, requiring urgent revascularisation and limb-salvage care.
- Drug-coated balloon (DCB)
- A balloon coated with an antiproliferative drug, inflated to widen a narrowed artery and deliver drug to the vessel wall.
- Atherectomy
- Mechanical removal or debulking of plaque from an artery using a catheter-based device.
- Thrombectomy
- Removal of a blood clot from a vessel using aspiration, mechanical or pharmacomechanical techniques.
- Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
- A catheter-mounted ultrasound probe used inside vessels to measure plaque, vessel size and stent expansion.
- Duplex ultrasound
- Combined B-mode and Doppler ultrasound used to assess blood flow, stenosis, venous reflux and graft surveillance.
- Venous insufficiency
- Failure of venous valves or calf-muscle pump function, causing reflux, varicose veins, swelling and skin changes.
- Endovenous ablation
- Closing a refluxing vein with heat from laser or radiofrequency, or with adhesive, usually for superficial venous insufficiency.
- Vascular access
- Creating and maintaining reliable access to blood vessels, including arteriovenous fistulas, grafts and catheters for dialysis or other therapies.
- Vascular closure device
- A device used to seal an arterial puncture after catheter procedures, reducing time to haemostasis and ambulation.
- Embolization
- Deliberate blocking of a blood vessel with coils, plugs, particles or liquid agents to treat bleeding, tumours or vascular malformations.
- Carotid artery stenting
- Endovascular placement of a stent in the carotid artery, usually with embolic protection, to treat atherosclerotic narrowing.

- Coordinated vascular, podiatric and wound care to avoid amputation in patients with critical limb ischemia or diabetic foot disease.
- Compression therapy
- Graduated compression garments or bandages used to treat venous insufficiency, oedema and venous ulcers.
