EVTM Asia 2026

Over the years, REBOA has played a central role in the development of EVTM. In addition, endovascular treatments such as stent grafting and embolization have been widely discussed and adopted, further expanding into areas such as ECMO and Hybrid ER. Trauma care is now evolving into a more comprehensive and multidisciplinary field.

One of the most valuable aspects of EVTM is that it brings together professionals from diverse specialties—including trauma surgeons, vascular surgeons, anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, and interventional radiologists—to discuss shared goals and strategies. As a diagnostic radiologist, I have always found it both meaningful and inspiring to be part of these discussions.

Historically, the role of diagnostic radiology in trauma resuscitation has been relatively limited. However, I have consistently believed in its potential. With the understanding and support of Dr. Tal Hörer and many colleagues, it is a great honor and pleasure to host the 10th anniversary EVTM Symposium here in Japan.

I sincerely hope that this symposium will provide valuable insights and inspiration for all participants and contribute to the continued advancement of trauma care. I very much look forward to engaging in meaningful discussions with all of you. We also look forward to welcoming you with Japanese hospitality ”OMOTENASHI” and cuisine.

2014年、Tal Hörer先生の呼びかけをきっかけに、EVTMの活動は始まりました。

当初は小さな取り組みでしたが、外傷蘇生において手術中心であった治療戦略の中に血管内治療を取り入れるという考え方は、現在では一つの大きなムーブメントへと発展しています。
これまでのEVTMの歩みの中で、REBOAの普及は重要な役割を果たしてきました。それに加え、ステント治療や塞栓術といった血管内治療が広く議論され、さらにはECMOやHybrid ERといった領域へと発展し、外傷診療はより集学的でダイナミックなものへと進化しています。

EVTMは、外傷外科医、血管外科医、麻酔科医、救急医、IVR医など、専門領域を越えて同じ目標に向かい議論できる、非常に建設的で魅力的な場です。画像診断医である私自身も、このような議論に携わることを常に楽しみにしてきました。

これまで外傷蘇生の分野において画像診断医の役割は決して大きいものではありませんでしたが、私は一貫してその可能性を信じてきました。そしてTal先生をはじめ多くの皆様のご理解とご支援をいただき、このたび第10回という記念すべきEVTM Symposiumを日本で開催できますことを、大変嬉しく、また光栄に思っております。

本シンポジウムが、参加される皆様にとって新たな知見と刺激を得る場となり、今後の外傷診療のさらなる発展につながることを心より願っております。 皆様と活発な議論を交わせることを楽しみにしております。

また、日本ならではの食文化とおもてなしとともに、皆様をお迎えできることを心よりお待ち申し上げております。

The EVTM Symposium serves as a global platform for sharing cutting-edge knowledge and innovative techniques in emergency care, trauma resuscitation, and endovascular treatment. This year’s program is designed for healthcare professionals who are deeply engaged in the management of non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) and the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in critical cases. In addition, participants can explore advanced and practical strategies including REBOA, endovascular procedures, surgical approaches, and embolization-based hybrid treatments —all representing the forefront of modern trauma management.
And I believe that one of the highlights of this year’s symposium will be an opportunity to visit one of Japan’s leading emergency centers and the pioneering Hybrid Emergency Room System (HERS). Participants will gain invaluable insights into its operation and learn how such a system could be implemented or adapted within their own institutions.
We warmly welcome your participation in this meaningful symposium. Your engagement and shared expertise will undoubtedly enrich discussions and help shape the future of trauma care in Asia and beyond.
Join us in this exciting and transformative journey of innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
