Overview

Welcome to our 42nd Annual Northwestern Vascular Symposium.This two and a half day course provides category 1 continuing medical education (CME) credits, maintenance of certification (MOC) credits, and a hard cover textbook authored by the participating faculty. We have brought together 50 national experts in their respective fields of vascular care who have contributed an up-to-date written chapter that accompanies their corresponding 15-minute presentation.

As has been the tradition, we have selected speakers based on recent peer-reviewed publications, national societal presentations, and/or recognized leaders in their discipline. The program provides a comprehensive analysis of the current management of vascular disease it relates to treatment of extracranial cerebrovascular and supra-aortic trunk disease, new approaches to lower extremity arterial and venous problems,recent cutting-edge developments in open and endovascular approaches to treat aortic and visceral arterial disease, as well as novel techniques for hemodialysis access, complex venous problems, upper extremity disorders. Concluding each session, a 30-minute panel discussion will occur allowing the audience ample time to ask more in-depth questions of the experts.

A long-standing tradition of our program has been the inclusion of several short case presentations given by the Northwestern faculty during the continental breakfast on Friday and Saturday mornings. We recognize the educational value of this interactive experience and invite the audience to participate along with our panelists.In addition to the CME and MOC credits, registration for the meeting includes a daily continental breakfast,lunch, refreshments, and the hardcover textbook. We look forward to having you join us in Chicago during this festive time of year.
