The Winery is located in the scenic Santa Cruz Mountains overlooking Silicon Valley and Stanford University, and has produced several award winning wines in recent years. The event at Dr. Fogarty's Winery should prove to be a memorable evening for all course participants.

Location

"Hands On" training will be conducted on Friday, April 16, 1999 at the animal, bench and cadaver laboratory facilities located on the Stanford University campus, Stanford, California.

Course participants will receive intensive practical endovascular experience in small groups conducted by Stanford faculty and prominent invited guest faculty. Live case demonstrations of endovascular procedures will be presented with special emphasis on endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. Lectures will be conducted at the Fairchild auditorium on Saturday, April 17, 1999.

The European-styled Hotel Sofitel San Francisco Bay, located in nearby Redwood Shores, will serve as the home site for faculty and course registrants' accommodations. It offers easy access to all local attractions in the Silicon Valley area. San Francisco, or a trip to the Pacific coast, are just a short 45 minute drive. Also the Napa Valley, beautifully in bloom in the springtime, is only 90 minutes away.

Online Materials

This course was offered on Friday and Saturday, April 16 and 17, 1999. Make sure to register early for next year's "Hands On" Workshop, April 21 and 22, 2000.
