Critical Limb Ischemia - The Next Breakthrough or Failure for Vascular Specialists

Critical Limb Ischemia - The Next Breakthrough or Failure for Vascular Specialists is organized by Baptist Health South Florida and will be held from Oct 01, 2017 - Oct 01, 2019.

The target audience for this medical event is Cardiologists, Vascular Surgeons, Interventional Radiologists, Interventional Cardiologists, Primary Care Physicians, Orthopedic Surgeons, Emergency Medicine Physicians, General Internists and other interested healthcare providers. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 0.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Course Description :
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most advanced peripheral artery disease and is associated with the most significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare resource utilization. CLI patients are also at risk for amputation in the absence of successful revascularization. Care remains inconsistent across the multiple medical specialties managing these patients. This course will delineate available minimally invasive surgical interventions to consider when managing patients with CLI to improve their quality of life.

Learning Objectives :
• Define critical limb ischemia and assess prevalence and methods of diagnosis.
• Review historical surgical approaches to the management of critical limb ischemia.
• Analyze new strategies for minimally invasive methods of managing critical limb ischemia.

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