Description
This course is designed to provide the practicing vascular surgeon or interventionalist with current information on endovascular techniques. The course is split between a hands-on laboratory workshop and an endovascular surgery symposium, including live case demonstrations of endovascular procedures with a special emphasis on endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. The hands-on portion of the course will assist specialists in the development of clinical and technical skills working with the latest instruments used in this growing surgical field. Participants will receive intensive practical endovascular experience in small groups conducted by Stanford and guest faculty.
Friday's hands-on training is held at Stanford University's animal, bench, and cadaver laboratory facilities. Saturday's symposium is at the Fairchild Auditorium, also on the Stanford campus.
Educational Format
This two-day meeting consists of hands-on workshops, live case demonstrations, and didactic lectures with ample time for questions and answers. To maximize the hands-on experience, attendance will be limited.
Target Audience
This course is specifically designed for vascular surgeons or interventionalists interested in furthering their endovascular surgery skills and techniques.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of the program, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the newest innovations in endovascular and minimally invasive approaches to treat vascular disease.
- Explain the implications for use of new technology and patient selection criteria.
- Apply clinical techniques using vascular imaging, catheters and guidewires, thrombolytic therapy, stents and stent grafts, minimally invasive saphenous vein harvests, and endoscopic subfascial perforator ligation.
- Delineate the limitations of the application of new technology and how to avoid complications.
- Develop strategies for appropriate application of new techniques in clinical practice.
- Describe the current state of the art of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.
- Identify the latest treatments of cerebrovascular disease.
