The Amputation Prevention Symposium (AMP) 2018
In-Person Event
Aug 08 - 11, 2018
Chicago, Illinois, USA
OVERVIEW
The Amputation Prevention Symposium (AMP) is organized by Healthcare Made Practical (HMP) and will be held from Aug 08 - 11, 2018 at Hilton Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, wound care specialists, podiatrists, nurses, vascular technologists, and cardiovascular catheterization laboratory team members. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 22.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Apply a comprehensive, multidisciplinary best-practice approach for patients at risk for major amputation with advanced peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI)
• Describe the role of atherectomy in CLI and its application in amputation prevention
• Treat complex chronic total occlusions in tibial and pedal arterial vessels in the patient with CLI
• Describe arterial angiosome anatomy in conjunction with cutaneous and ultrasonic angiosome mapping in patients at risk for major amputation with advanced tibio-pedal arterial disease
• Implement procedural and technological advances in wound care practices for patients facing major amputation due to advanced PAD, advanced non-healing wounds, and gangrene
• Describe the surgical approach to post-revascularization limb salvage for patients at risk for major amputation with advanced PAD
• Identify the components necessary to build a multidisciplinary amputation prevention program
• Implement a diagnostic algorithm including selective angiography as a critical step for patients with severe PAD who are at risk for amputation
• Incorporate advanced tibio-pedal access in combination with antegrade access in limb salvage procedures
• Utilize digital branch access during CLI interventions
• Implement transcollateral interventions in below-the-knee and below-the-ankle interventions
• Describe tips and tricks for safe and effective endovascular treatment of CLI from access to closure
• Describe unique considerations when evaluating the diabetic foot ulcer in the setting of CLI
• Describe the current state of wound-orientation revascularization in the patient with CLI
• Describe the algorithm to identify and treat venous, arterial, and mixed wounds in the patient with CLI
• Describe when to refer the patient with CLI and osteomyelitis for an ID consult
• Describe when to urgently refer a patient with CLI and wounds to a wound care specialist
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
