Stay Current and Prep for Vascular Board Exams

This program offers an in-depth review for those preparing to take the vascular board examinations as well as providing a basic didactic education for vascular residents in training. The course recognizes four major pillars of vascular surgery practice: (1) conventional open operations, (2) catheter-based intervention, (3) the medical aspects of patient management, (4) diagnostic imaging and noninvasive testing. An internationally recognized faculty from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA will present a comprehensive survey of generally accepted views, including basic science, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of the broad spectrum of vascular disorders. It will help you to better:

• Describe the indications, technique and results of open vascular operations including carotid endarterectomy, repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm, aorto-femoral bypass and infra-inguinal bypass
• Outline the management of varicose veins and deep venous occlusive disease
• Identify the indications, technique and results of catheter-based interventions including endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm, aorto-iliac and femoral-popliteal-tibial occlusive disease and carotid artery stenting
• Manage vascular disease including hypertension, risk factor modification, the use of anti-platelet, anti-coagulant and statin therapy
• Interpret diagnostic studies including duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography, CT angiography and catheter based contrast angiography
