Dear Colleagues,
“Current Therapy In Venous Disease 2008: A Course For Vascular
Fellows” is being held at The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Chicago,
Illinois on December 13-14, 2008 in honor of the late Dr. Vikrom
Sottiurai.
The course is intended to give vascular surgery fellows the ability to
learn about the basics of venous disease. The goal of the course is to
educate and update all vascular fellows regarding the latest theories
and developments in the clinical practice of venous disease
management.
By the end of the course the attendees should be able to:
- Understand the anatomy and pathophysiology of venous
disorders
- Understand noninvasive tests and their role in venous disease
diagnosis
- Understand aspects of venous thrombosis
- Understand aspects of chronic venous insufficiency including
superficial and deep venous insufficiency
- Appreciate the various treatment options for chronic venous
disease
The course is didactic and interactive. Faculty interaction is crucial to
the fellows’ experience. The faculty consists of leaders in the field of
venous disease from centers known for their venous expertise.
Enrollment is limited to 25-30 fellows. Travel, lodging and meal
expenses will be supported by sponsoring industry. Please notify your
fellows about this program and kindly respond in a timely manner to
ensure a spot in the course.
If you have any questions or suggestions to enhance the fellows’
experience, please contact any of us directly. Thank you for
supporting the ongoing education of your vascular fellows.
