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.
