A team of vascular surgeons from the A. Jurasz University Hospital No. 1 in Bydgoszcz was the first in Poland and in this part of Europe to perform an implantation of InCraft^® – an innovative, ultra-low-profile stent-graft. The team was headed by prof. dr hab. Arkadiusz Jawień, head of the Department of Vascular Surgery and Angiology and of the Centre for Medical Education in English of the NCU Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz.
