Overview

Presented by the University of California, San Francisco and Stanford University, the symposium examines the new technologies that are being introduced into the vascular armamentarium and the mechanisms by which these technologies may be introduced into an existing practice. We will review and evaluate the latest advances and their application throughout the vascular tree. In addition, the most current devices and techniques for the endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms and carotid stenosis will be presented and reviewed by expert practitioners of the art. Two additional areas to be included this year are sessions on optimizing vascular practice management and on advances in the treatment of the vascular trauma patient. Finally, developments in the treatment of acute and chronic venous thrombosis and their sequella will be reviewed and evaluated. The symposium features interactive expert/audience discussions and case presentation sessions that will demonstrate the pros and cons of the various options to treat specific problems.

Objectives

Discuss current treatment alternatives, surgical and endovascular, for patients with vascular diseases involving the carotid, aorta, and infrainguinal arteries
Delineate the pros and cons of endovascular aneurysm repair of both abdominal and thoracic aneurysms and the most current advances, devices and techniques in this rapidly evolving field
Create a plan to optimize the financial success of their practice in this era of continuing reductions in reimbursement
Develop a therapeutic plan for Vascular Trauma patients that will include the appropriate use of observation and open and endovascular interventions
Review the techniques and results of surgical and endovascular options for lower extremity revascularizations and limb salvage
Plan the optimum strategy for treating acute and chronic venous thrombosis, and the late sequella of venous disease
