Educational Highlights

In 2013, NCVH Latin America will expand educational offerings and present our 2nd annual conference "An International Approach to Endovascular Interventions" as a multidisciplinary international conference offering a comprehensive overview to include:

    • Diagnosis and management of peripheral artery disease (PAD)
    • Peripheral endovascular interventions
    • Limb salvage techniques
    • Critical limb ischemia (CLI)
    • Diabetic foot wound care

This conference brings together key disciplines to focus on the common goal of complete vascular care and limb preservation.

Educational highlights will include the most recent advancements in the field of PAD and CLI through didactic lectures, live cases and hands-on workshops led by international and national faculty who are recognized as leading experts in the field. Innovative presentations are infused with live satellite broadcasts displaying real time interventional procedures performed by local Latin American physicians. This state of the art technology enriches the learning experience by allowing attendees to explore and discuss surgical strategies as they are being executed.

In addition to real-time live cases, ample time will be provided for hands-on training that will include simulators, case reviews, product demonstrations and live question and answer sessions with faculty members.

This approach of interactive learning and clinical collaboration provides the practicing physician, podiatrist, resident, nurse and allied health professional cutting edge non-surgical and surgical revascularization techniques for peripheral interventions and amputation prevention.
