Program Overview

The focus of this course is to provide advice on the strategy and the technical aspects of complex lower extremity endovascular interventions.

The course includes practical tips and pearls about lower extremity endovascular practice. The course is comprised of lectures, case presentations, a panel, and some bench top practical hands-on exercises with the goal of audience participation and interaction with faculty. Specific technical know-how is emphasized.

Learning Objectives

Upon completing this course, the participants should be able to:

• Define technical aspects of complex superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery and tibial artery reconstructions.
• Apply strategy for approaching complex lower extremity occlusive disease.
• Discuss technical knowledge as relates to angioplasty, stenting, cryoplasty, atherectomy, laser, and stent-grafts in the lower extremity arteries

Target Audience

This course is designed for clinical vascular surgeons who want to expand their repertoire in lower extremity endovascular management.
