ISEVS 30th Anniversary Interactive Cardiovascular Symposium

Sept 22-23 | A Premier Hands-on Endovascular Event

The symposium’s overall intent is to identify key health needs in cardiovascular care, describe methods to treat a variety of vascular and cardiovascular diseases using established guidelines, and evaluate the newest technologies. The topics discussed will expand the knowledge of cardiology and cardiovascular care. Experts in the field will analyze the best treatment therapies for patients in these respective domains. They will also make recommendations on overall patient care and disseminate information that can then be applied to the attendees’ current practices. We will provide this information through didactic lectures, panel discussions, Q&A sessions, case presentations, and simulations. This symposium will also feature a large, hands-on lab.
