About us
Management and structure
The Aortic Association is an independent scientific platform focusing on continuing medical education in aortic medicine, on advancing the standard of the therapy of aortic diseases of today and on providing a think tank for treatment strategies of tomorrow.
The Statutes provide a clear separation between strategic and scientific functions on the one hand, and executive, operational and administrative functions on the other. The Board is the executive and legislative body, the General Assembly is the operational body, and the General Secretary is the administrative body of the Aortic Association.

Membership
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.
We are committed to work closely with you to make sure we continually develop and offer the benefits and value you want to see.
