The target audience for this medical event is Physicians and others who practice vascular medicine or have a special interest in vascular disease or research therein. This includes Cardiologists, Primary care physicians, Clinicians, Radiologists, Radiology technicians, Rheumatologists, Endocrinologists, Nurses practitioners/advanced, practice nurses, Vascular surgeons, Vascular nurses.Vascular medicine specialists, Physicians, Physician Assistants, Pharmacists, Others with an interest in vascular medicine.

Conference Overview :
Vascular diseases represent the single most important cause of death and disability in the United States and will remain so for the decades ahead. SVM’s annual scientific sessions provide an important arena to help healthcare providers maintain their focus on tangible cardiovascular health threats.

An essential component of every year’s meeting is to feature internationally recognized clinician-investigators, clinician-educators, and renowned vascular scientists to keep attendees abreast of the issues that impact their patients, their practice, and their livelihood.

Topics Include:
• Future of Vascular Imaging
• Arteriopathies
• Medical Management of PAD
• Rapid Fire Session Covering Anticoagulation
• Vascular Medicine in Value-Based Medicine and Systemness - Roundtable Discussion
• Endovascular Therapy for Venous Thromboembolism
• Critical Limb Ischemia
• Joint Session with the American Venous Forum - Chronic Venous Disease Novel Insights
• Moderated Poster Session
• Best of SVM Science Oral Abstract Session
• Practical, Hands-On How-to Workshops
• Jay D. Coffman Young Investigator Award

SVM in the Vascular Lab Sessions puts the spotlight on the non-invasive vascular laboratory.
Topics Include:
• Follow-up After Interventions Arterial and Venous
• New in Vascular Lab
• Fundamentals
• Mock RPVI Exam

• Risk Assessment

Learning Objectives :
As a result of attending these sessions, the participant will be able to:
• Review the rational clinical approach to common chief complaints encountered in vascular medicine practice.
• Apply the appropriate use of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs); know how to choose the right agent and the right dose as well as the latest data regarding perioperative management and reversal of these agents.
• Review the latest clinical trials relevant to the care of patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), venous thromboembolism (VTE), venous insufficiency, non-atherosclerotic arteriopathies and aortic disease, and recently published basic and translational studies with implications for vascular medicine practice.
• Review the data supporting the role of interventional therapies for treatment of iliac vein obstruction.
• Describe the latest treatment approaches for superficial venous disease and lymphedema, including novel approaches to compression therapy and intervention.
• Discuss the latest data regarding management of patients with acute aortic syndromes and complex chronic aortic disease and consider the emerging role of multi-specialty aortic disease centers in the care of these patients.
• Compare the risks and benefits of extended anticoagulation for patients with unprovoked VTE.
• Review the evolving landscape of health care in the United States and how vascular medicine specialists can be proactive in developing programs to align with broader efforts of health care reform.
• Review the future of imaging technologies
