surgeons, neurosurgeons, general surgeons, cardiologists, interventional radiologists, fellows and trainees in these
disciplines as well as nurses and allied health professionals who are interested in the prevention, management and
treatment of vascular disease.
Specifically this program will provide participants with information about:

Data from ICSS and CREST trials and implications for patient care regarding Carotid Disease.

Recognizing factors to be evaluated for preoperative clearance for peripheral vascular surgery procedures.
Describe appropriate medications and non-operative therapy for PAD. Recognizing wounds as to arterial/venous
or other types.

Recognize long-term complications from EVAR. Describe indications for AAA repair. Define indications for
medical management vs. intervention for dissection.

Defining indications for IVC filter placement. Recognizing patients with potential proximal DVT, and define
appropriate indications for referral for invasive intervention. Describe indications and options for treatment of
venous insufficiency.

Interpreting vascular lab report information and how it may be used for patient care.

Recognizing the importance of early evaluation and referral for vascular access. Describing options for care for
vascular injuries.
