Summary:

Leading national experts will cover significant new contributions and controversies relevant to the continuing evolution of vascular care. The text will cover changes in the management of extracranial cerebrovascular disease, new treatment options for lower extremity arterial occlusive disease, novel techniques in hemodialysis access management, as well as recent cutting-edge developments in aortic stent graft repair in the chest and abdomen. The Symposium will also cover some less common vascular problems including complex venous disease, pathology of the visceral vessels, and vascular thoracic outlet syndrome.
