This year the Cardiovascular Symposium has been designed surrounding the theme of imaging. This webinar will provide an opportunity to broaden your understanding of imaging and in dealing with these diseases. There will be a comprehensive review of the role of imaging in 3 specific areas: Aortic Aneurysms, Peripheral Vascular Diseases and Venous Diseases.
The development in imaging techniques and modalities has enabled us dealing with complex medical problems that was not possible until a decade ago. Imaging today remains the cornerstone in the diagnosis, management, planning and in predicting success following intervention. Furthermore, imaging also guides us in dealing with the complications following the procedures. The digital revolution has made it possible today sharing the knowledge and information across whole range of clinical specialities. Management of cardiovascular diseases has been greatly influenced by the progress in imaging.
Aortic Aneurysms
Despite continuing controversies regarding the management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA), EVAR (Endovascular Aneurysm Repair) continues to dominate the scene and remains a major source of activities for the vascular and endovascular surgeons. New information available through imaging, such as Cone Beam CT, has made it possible to treat wide range of aneurysms with variable geometry protecting visceral vessels. New ways of acquisition of imaging has enabled reduction of exposure to radiation and protect kidney function. Our understanding of the natural history of endo leak through imaging has allowed us to be selective in intervention and has improved the prognosis. The webinar will discuss these issues to give a clearer and better understanding for the trainees and consultants.
Peripheral Vascular Diseases
Although the morbidity and mortality following intervention in diabetics remain high, there are significant development in endovascular intervention for ischaemic vascular disease involving lower limb arteries. The role of surgery continues to challenge endovascular intervention in some cases. Sky is the limit for endovascular intervention today made possible due to advances in imaging techniques and catheters. This has been possible largely due to availability of better-quality imaging.
Venous Diseases
The key-note lecture on DVT and Cancer by Professor, the Lord Kakkar will be one of the main attractions of this webinar. During the last two decades, the management of venous problems has seen seismic changes with better outcome. Thrombolysis and Stenting are the new kids on the block for the management of Iliac Vein Thrombosis with or without May Thurner Syndrome. Better quality imaging has made it possible to obtain satisfactory outcome following intervention, this will be discussed at length by the experts.
Webinar topics include:
- Current best practice
- The role of imagining in the management of aneurysmal diseases, peripheral vascular diseases including diabetes and venous diseases
- How imaging can help overcome difficult vascular access, enable better planning and achieve optimum outcome
This webinar content has been designed for trainees, clinicians and healthcare professionals from different specialties involved in the management of cardiovascular diseases.
