Introduction
In this special, 2-part premiere episode, Drs. Sahil Parikh and Erin Murphy share their experiences as they explore new technologies and strategies for vascular imaging in patients with peripheral vascular disease.
Part I: Focus on Physiology and Imaging in Arterial Intervention
Join Sahil A. Parikh, MD for an in-depth evaluation of novel approaches to diagnostics in arterial interventions. Focusing on enhancing your understanding of human physiology and best practices for imaging interpretation, Dr. Parikh reviews the evolution of imaging technologies, highlighting the advantages that have rendered intravascular ultrasound the dominant modality in our field. Through analysis of challenging, real-world cases, you’ll learn how to utilize invasive hemodynamics and intravascular ultrasound to optimally assess, prepare, and treat your patients with peripheral vascular disease, while also reducing risks, setting the stage for improved outcomes.
Part II: Focus on Deep Venous Interventions
In Part II of this episode, Erin H. Murphy, MD takes us on an in-depth look at novel approaches to diagnostic imaging in deep venous interventions. Dr. Murphy shares her stepwise and individualized approach to the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of peripheral vascular disease, focusing on utilizing the appropriate imaging tools before, during, and post-procedure. Learn how vascular imaging is both an art and a science as Dr. Murphy reviews clinical data, provides useful tips and techniques, and revisits illustrative cases that can help you provide optimal management for your patients with peripheral vascular disease.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Describe the limitations of using angiography alone for vascular imaging
- Explain how imaging selection between invasive hemodynamics, venogram and/or IVUS can impact patient outcomes
- Interpret IVUS imaging to determine appropriate next steps in therapy
- Define the role of ultrasound in procedure planning for patients requiring deep venous stenting and follow-up of patients post operatively
Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of Interventional Radiologists, Vascular Surgeons, Vascular Specialists, Nurse Practitioners, Radiologic Technologists, and Vascular Allied Health Professionals involved in the treatment of patients with peripheral vascular disease.
