Creating and Maintaining Dialysis Access is organized by Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) and will be held Apr 03, 2018 - Oct 27, 2020.

The target audience for this medical event is designed to meet the educational needs of interventional radiologists, in-training physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, techs and other physicians at all levels with special interest in dialysis access and vascular surgery. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Conference Description :
This course will provide an up-to-date overview of the ever-expanding role of IR in the creation and maintenance of access for hemodialysis. While new technologies will be highlighted, well established approaches to de-clotting and PTA will also be covered. A peek into the underlying cellular pathology will give a glimpse into the future of this field of IR practice.

Conference Objective :
• Distinguish the different tools to increase access patency and life.
• Explain how to create percutaneous dialysis access.
• Describe the use of drug coated balloons and Stent Grafts to reduce reintervention rate and improve access patency.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
