The Edinburgh Aortic Summit (EAS) 2027 takes place on 22–23 April 2027 at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 11 Queen Street, Edinburgh, Scotland.
EAS is an international aortic conference bringing together specialists in vascular surgery, cardiac surgery, endovascular care and the wider cardiovascular multidisciplinary team. The two-day meeting combines case-based education, scientific exchange, research and collaboration across complex aortic disease. Scientific sessions run in the College’s Conference Centre auditorium, with the exhibition in the historic Great Hall.
The inaugural summit in 2025, held at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, welcomed more than 280 in-person attendees and over 100 online participants and was awarded 11 CPD hours by RCSEd. CPD for the 2027 edition has not yet been confirmed by the organisers. Abstracts from EAS 2025 were published in the Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Call for abstracts: abstract submission for EAS 2027 is open via the official abstracts page.
