Diagnostic
and Therapeutic
Approaches to Vascular Disease
This 5-day program continues the tradition of comprehensive symposia
dedicated to the diagnosis of vascular disease started by Dr. Strandness
in 1987 and continued through 2003. The vascular laboratory has
become an essential resource for the management of arterial and
venous disease, and this program will provide a review and update
of all the major testing areas: cerebrovascular, venous, peripheral
arterial, and visceral vascular. The program will emphasize new
applications, such as selection of patients for intervention and
follow-up of endovascular procedures. Important topics in laboratory
management will also be discussed, including credentialing, accreditation,
billing/coding, and quality assurance.
This
symposium includes 4 days of morning plenary sessions and 3 days
of afternoon workshops to allow smaller groups to explore selected
areas in greater depth. On the fifth day an interpretation review
course will be offered for those physicians, songraphers, and
other health-care providers who are looking for additional instruction
on interpretation and reporting of vascular laboratory studies.
All this takes place in a resort setting with time
left over to enjoy the beautiful island of Maui.
