Three days of learning, discussion, and hands-on experience at the Florence Training Days 2026.

The workshop was divided into two key sections, each focused on one of the most challenging and evolving areas of endovascular practice.

🔷 Lower Limb Interventions

The first part focused on below-the-knee and critical limb-threatening ischemia procedures, with extensive discussions on practical tips and tricks for optimizing vessel visualization, even in the most complex patients, including those affected by diabetic foot. Live case discussions and shared clinical experiences provided valuable insights into the use of CO₂ angiography in everyday practice.

🔷 Aortic Interventions & EVAR

The second part, developed in collaboration with Philips, explored the growing role of CO₂-guided EVAR and zero-contrast strategies. Topics included radiation dose optimization, dedicated low-dose protocols, fusion imaging technologies, and comprehensive zero-contrast pathways, from procedural planning and ex*****on to post-operative follow-up.

Events like this demonstrate the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in advancing patient care while reducing both contrast media exposure and radiation burden.

A sincere thank you to Dr. Emiliano Chisci, Dr. Stefano Michelagnoli, Dr. Lorenzo Patrone, and Simone Panci for sharing their knowledge, to our Michela Bonagura and Luca Reggi as well as Nicola Migliaccio and Laura Tagliaferri from Philips for making this workshop possible, and to all participants for their engagement, questions, and enthusiasm throughout the event.

We look forward to continuing this journey together and further expanding the possibilities of CO₂ angiography in vascular and endovascular procedures.

🌍 Four days of learning, collaboration, and innovation in vascular care

What an incredible journey it has been!

From May 25th to 28th, proudly supported a unique educational workshop that brought together vascular surgeons from Russia for an immersive experience across three leading Italian hospitals. Over four days, participants had the opportunity to observe live cases, exchange clinical insights, discuss challenging scenarios, and explore advanced endovascular techniques, with a particular focus on the use of in everyday practice.

This initiative would not have been possible without the commitment and generosity of three outstanding healthcare professionals and their teams who opened the doors of their institutions and shared their expertise with the attendees:

🏥 Prof. Mauro Gargiulo – Sant'Orsola Hospital, Bologna

🏥 Prof. Michele Antonello – Padua University Hospital, Padua

🏥 Dr. Lorenzo Patrone – San Giovanni di Dio Hospital, Florence

Most importantly, we would like to thank all the physicians, healthcare professionals, and participants who dedicated their time, shared their experiences, asked insightful questions, and contributed to the vibrant discussions throughout the event. Your passion for continuous learning and improving patient outcomes is what drives progress in our field.

To everyone involved in the planning, coordination, logistics, and ex*****on of this workshop, including Angiodroid's Antonio Vizzini, Annamaria Sarli, and Michela Bonagura, and our partners from Exten Medical: thank you. Behind every successful educational event is a team working tirelessly to create meaningful opportunities for professional growth and collaboration.

📢 A new just landed!

We are proud to share important new clinical evidence from Dr. Emiliano Chisci and colleagues, recently published in the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, highlighting the dosimetric impact and best practices of automated CO₂-guided EVAR procedures.

The multicentre prospective Zero Iodine Contrast EVAR Study demonstrates a key message for the vascular community:

➡️ CO₂-guided EVAR is not inherently associated with higher radiation exposure.

When modern imaging systems, optimized low-dose protocols, and synchronized CO₂ DSA techniques are implemented, radiation doses remain comparable to conventional iodinated contrast EVAR procedures while preserving procedural success and image quality.

Key findings include:

✅ Median DAP: 189 Gy·cm² (within European Diagnostic Reference Levels)

✅ Median Air Kerma: ~626 mGy (well below European reference thresholds)

✅ Up to 56% radiation dose reduction compared with pre-optimization workflows

✅ Significant improvements achieved through advanced imaging systems, dedicated low-dose protocols, and CO₂ synchronization techniques

These results further strengthen the role of automated CO₂ angiography as a nephroprotective and environmentally responsible alternative to iodinated contrast media, helping physicians reduce contrast-related risks without compromising procedural performance.

The evidence is clear: success depends not on the contrast agent itself, but on technology optimization, standardized protocols, and operator expertise.

Congratulations to Dr. Emiliano Chisci, Dr. Stefano Michelagnoli, the Zero Iodine Contrast EVAR Collaborative Study Group, and all participating centers for this important contribution to the advancement of vascular care!

🥇 A significant milestone for CO₂ angiography in Egypt 🥇

For the first time at Ras Sadr Hospital, part of the South Sinai branch of the Egypt Healthcare Authority, a peripheral endovascular intervention was successfully performed using the Angiodroid CO₂ injector as an alternative to iodinated contrast media.

To preserve renal function while ensuring optimal imaging guidance, the medical team selected as a contrast alternative during the procedure.

Under local anesthesia, physicians successfully performed balloon angioplasty and implanted a stent in the femoral artery, restoring blood flow and achieving a positive clinical outcome.

We are proud to support healthcare professionals in treating complex vascular patients while reducing the risks associated with iodinated contrast media.

👏 Congratulations to the entire team at Ras Sadr Hospital for this important achievement and their commitment to advancing patient care!
