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.
