2014 Lower Extremity Arterial RevascularizatioN (LEARN)

LEARN 2014 is a 2 1/2-day course designed for practicing endovascular specialists and fellows currently involved in PAD or interested in starting their own PAD practices. Building on the tremendous success of last year’s case-based format, this year’s LEARN delivers technical insights and state–of–the–art data to keep interventional radiologists current in the increasingly competitive PAD marketplace. A special symposium on renal denervation will be featured to educate attendees on the status of this exciting field. LEARN provides highly specialized training in an intimate and interactive setting that you won’t find anywhere else. The course may also be of interest to vascular medicine physicians, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists.

Highlights include:

-> Review of the overall management of the PAD patient—including claudication and critical limb ischemia (CLI)—from diagnosis through treatment and follow–up.

-> Focused mini-symposium featuring the latest “Hot Topic” in the endovascular world

-> Case–based, panel–discussion format featuring pre-recorded cases with real-time interactive review

-> Insights from experienced endovascular specialists on the various methods to accomplish a successful intervention, ranging from basic to very complex scenarios.

-> Specific techniques and a detailed review of the latest technologic advances available for use in peripheral intervention.

-> Dedicated hands–on workshops where attendees can ‘test–drive’ the latest devices under the instruction from experienced specialists. Simulators also available for fine–tuning skills.

-> Renal denervation symposium, with an eye on the current status of the technology and future applications

-> Small–group, breakout sessions focused on specific topics provide an intimate setting for faculty-attendee interaction–a LEARN trademark.
