2022 Greenville Aortic Symposium
Overview
As aortic disease becomes more complex, the treatment algorithm has also become more complex. The aim of our course is to provide a concise summary of technologies which are available currently as well as a treatment algorithm for aortic aneurysms. Our program will consist of 2 days: Day 1 will be classroom/didactic based (for surgeons, APPs, fellows) and day 2 will be simulator and cadaver lab based (fellows only). Course instructors will describe the indications for use for newer endovascular technologies as well as "bailout” strategies to avoid complications which the participants will be able to gain hands-on experience through simulation models; We will also instruct the fellows on the exposure and treatment for juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm as well as thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm in the cadaver lab. CME will be awarded for Day 1 (Saturday).
The Vascular Division at Prisma Health has been at the forefront of education since the establishment of the first vascular teaching program in South Carolina almost 20 years ago. Our graduates have continued our mission of “improving the well-being of our communities through collaborative education, inquiry, and innovation” in academic and private practices throughout the country. As a teaching facility, we have collaborated with other vascular surgeons in the state for educational conferences to share our knowledge and expertise. Since the inception of our Aortic Center, we have become the leading referral center for complex aortic pathologies for the Upstate and surrounding areas.
For additional questions, please contact GreenvilleAorticSymposium@PrismaHealth.org.
Please note that there is no cost to attend the conference, and residents and fellows will be reimbursed for travel and lodging.
