Are you confident with managing cases of complex chronic deep venous disease? This 30-minute roundtable discussion, features leading venous disease experts, Minhaj Khaja, MD, MBA, FSIR from University of Virginia; Andrea Obi, MD from University of Michigan; and Aditya Sharma, MD, from University of Virginia who highlight complex cases related to chronic deep venous disease. Faculty discuss the latest evidence regarding current tactics for medical, surgical, and hybrid chronic venous disease management. Topics covered also include current multidisciplinary strategies to best optimize chronic venous disease care.
This activity is intended for interventional cardiologists, interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and other healthcare clinicians interested in treating patients with chronic venous disease.
Despite advancements in the medical treatment of venous disease, including novel oral anticoagulants that do not require routine monitoring, nearly half of all patients go on to develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after DVT. Many questions remain among cases that also require hybrid (both medical and surgical management). Endovascular interventions have shown promise, particularly in iliofemoral DVT, to address more severe symptoms, potentially reduce the severity of PTS, and improve quality of life. Physicians need to stay up-to-date on the latest recommendations and expert guidance on the medical, surgical, and hybrid management of chronic venous disease.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Assess the latest evidence regarding current tactics for chronic venous disease management
• Incorporate multidisciplinary strategies to manage complex cases of chronic venous disease
