Key Features
Leipzig Interventional Course (LINC)
Compared to Other Endovascular Medicine Meetings
Scope of Curriculum Comprehensive, disease-oriented education across the full spectrum of endovascular medicine including peripheral arterial disease, aortic disease, venous interventions, stroke, carotid disease, imaging, and emerging technologies. Content is curated across specialties to reflect real-world clinical decision-making. Typically narrower in scope, often focused on a single specialty, disease area, or procedural technique, with limited cross-disciplinary integration. Learning Format Built around live case transmissions, case-based discussions, interactive panels, and expert debate. Emphasis on decision-making, complication management, and practical takeaways rather than didactic lectures alone. Predominantly lecture-based formats with fewer live cases and limited opportunity for in-depth discussion or real-time clinical debate. Faculty Depth and Engagement Features a large, internationally recognized faculty of global experts actively shaping guidelines, trials, and device innovation. Faculty are highly accessible — engaging in sessions, debates, and informal exchange throughout the meeting. Smaller or more siloed faculty groups, with limited opportunities for direct interaction beyond scheduled presentations. Interdisciplinary Approach Truly multidisciplinary bringing together interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, angiologists, neurologists, and allied professionals to learn with and from each other. Often specialty-specific, with limited interaction between disciplines and fewer perspectives on shared clinical challenges. Community & Continuity LINC is more than an annual meeting. It is a global community. Education and engagement continue year-round through digital content, follow-up discussions, and ongoing knowledge exchange beyond the congress itself. Most meetings function as standalone annual events, with limited structured engagement or educational continuity outside the conference dates. Live Case Experience One of LINC’s defining features: extensive live case transmissions from leading centers, offering real-time insight into technique, strategy, and problem-solving in complex cases. Live cases may be limited, simulated, or absent altogether, with greater reliance on recorded cases or slide-based education.
