Reports by RENS members excited a lively professional interest both among the audience of the panel and other participants and guests of the forum.
RENS members also participated in discussions on prevention and management of the complications occurring during endovascular procedures and the nuances of teamwork in operating room setting to minimize risks for patients.
“We at RENS greatly appreciate exchanging experiences with our colleagues in general, and young specialists from YIRESA in particular. First of all, it is an opportunity to pass our knowledge and skills to a new generation of doctors and ensure professional succession and cooperation. And second, the symposium gave us a welcoming and benevolent environment allowing us to discuss relevant issues with our colleagues and tackle challenging problems, while also encouraging professional growth and proficiency”, noted Kirill Orlov.
