The Texas Heart Institute hosts the Peripheral Vascular Case Conference on the third Thursday of the month, from April to October 2024, from 5 PM to 6:30 PM, to discuss challenging case presentations. The conference is open to all vascular surgery residents, general cardiology and interventional cardiology fellows, and attendings involved with peripheral vascular procedures.
