- We are a non-profit association made up of patients and their families who have encountered the need to gather and work voluntarily to raise awareness of our conditions.
- We want to help all the people who are in this maze of compression syndromes and simultaneously claim a medical and social treatment comparable to the one that patients from common diseases receive.
- We registered as AESCOV or the Spanish Association of Vascular Compression Syndromes in the summer of 2023, when this project first started.
- Our scope of action is national and aims to bring together patients and families who are interested in joining this association.
- We work on a volunteer and assembly basis, and we are open to all types of collaboration.
- Following the motto ‘unity is strength’, we aim to promote informed participation.
- We hope you find this website helpful, and that it provides you with the answers you are looking for. If not, please Contact us.

Objectives
Medical Goals
Achieve early diagnoses.
Create care units in the public health system.
Patient treatment in compliance with the national law.
Promote training in these conditions among physicians and other healthcare professionals
Encourage research and international collaboration among medical workers.
Disability acknowledgement.
Social Goals
Raise awareness of vascular compression syndromes in the social framework.
Support patients and relatives and promote engagement between them.
Provide testimonials and experiences.
Create awareness of our conditions among the pertinent health courts, given their disabling nature.
Assist in the processes of incapacity for work, disability, and dependency to ensure a fair assessment, considering that many patients haven’t been able and will not be eligible to access the labor market due to their young age and/or the severity of their pathologies.
