Vascular Surgery CME Courses
Vascular Surgery CME Courses
Explore Non-invasive Vascular Testing
This online CME program — developed in partnership with the Society for Vascular Medicine — spans 30+ lectures that will expose you to all aspects of non-invasive testing. Abundant case study materials and over 100 registry-type exam questions will help those who work within the non-invasive vascular laboratory to prepare for the RPVI examination. It's a continuing medical education program that provides valuable insight on:
- Imaging techniques (B-mode, color and spectral Doppler, physiological testing)
- Various testing protocols and diagnostic criteria
- A broad range of vascular pathology, both common and rare
- Fundamentals of vascular physics
- Quality improvement and patient safety
Comprehensive Review and Update of What’s New in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery is an extensive review of vital topics in vascular surgery. This CME course focuses on four major pillars of vascular surgery—conventional open operations, catheter based intervention, the medical aspect of patient management, diagnostic imaging and noninvasive testing. It will help you to:
- Define indications, technique, and results of open vascular operations including carotid endarterectomy, repair of AAA, aorto-femoral bypass, and infra-inguinal bypass
- Illustrate adept management of varicose veins and deep venous occlusive disease
- Describe indications, technique, and results of catheter based intervention including endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm, aorto-iliac and femoral-popliteal-tibial occlusive disease, and carotid artery stenting
- Modify management of vascular diseases including hypertension, risk factor modification, the use of anti-platelet, anti-coagulant, and statin therapy
- Accurately interpret diagnostic studies including duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography, CT angiography, and catheter based contrast angiography
