About us
Management and structure

The Aortic Association promotes a partnership model where each stakeholder lends its expertise with clearly-defined responsibilities and a well-established infrastructure, while adhering to our principles of independence and quality.
We invite Industry to actively join the Aortic Association by contributing to the scientific activities and exchange of best practices during our annual meeting and other regular meetings throughout the year. A constructive and focused process for the benefit of the patient should be established through the integrated interdisciplinary exchange between the disciplines and through theme-oriented tasks managed and distributed by the Association’s Board.
