SESSION 15 SCHEDULE
Moderator(s): Gabriel Bartal, MD / Andrew S. Blum, MD / Giancarlo Biamino, MD, PhD / Johannes Lammer, MD  
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM PVD (Simulation Training Available)
The evaluation and management of PVD remains an important aspect of IR practices. During this 1-hour workshop the latest techniques and devices will be discussed. New devices will be demonstrated. Current literature and randomized studies will be presented.
Moderator(s): Gabriel Bartal, MD / Michael D. Dake, MD / Ripal T. Gandhi, MD / Robert A. Lookstein, MD, FSIR, FAHA / Krassi Ivancev, MD, PhD  
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM AAA: Endoleaks, Fenestrated Grafts, Percutaneous (Simulation Training Available)
IR involvement in the management of patients with AAA range from the initial imaging workup to the actual performance of the endograft procedure. This workshop will highlight the areas that IR can be most helpful in an endograft program.
Moderator(s): Gabriel Bartal, MD / Thomas A. Sos, MD / Marc Sapoval, MD, PhD / John H. Rundback, MD, FSIR, FAHA / Kevin Herman, MD  
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Renal Artery PTA/Stent, Denervation (Simulation Training Available)
Advances in renal intervention including recently published and ongoing studies will be presented. Indications for and description of a new technique, renal denervation, will be discussed.
Moderator(s): Elchanan Bruckheimer, MBBS / Eli Atar, MD / Barry T. Katzen, MD  
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Cardiology Tools For IR
Interventional cardiologists have developed techniques and devices that are applicable in many ways to our practices. We have assembled a group of experts to describe devices and techniques that have been adopted from cardiology that are being used in IR.
Moderator(s): Salvatore J.A. Sclafani, MD / David Sperling, MD, FSIR / Michael D. Dake, MD / Lindsay Machan, MD  
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CCSVI
Patients with Multiple Sclerosis are asking for treatment. What have we learned over the past year? Are we helping? Are there studies to demonstrate the value of intervention? Should all patients be treated as part of a study? These questions and more will be discussed during this session.
Moderator(s): Joshua L. Weintraub, MD, FSIR / Jacob Cynamon, MD / Yosef Golowa, MD  
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Closure And New Puncture Devices
New closure devices have come to market over the past year. Techniques and complications related to these devices will be described. Closure devices and a new puncture device that eliminates the need for a closure device will be available for tableside deployment.
Moderator(s): Barry Stein, MD, FSIR, FACR / Robert A. Lookstein, MD, FSIR, FAHA / James Caridi, MD / Yosef Golowa, MD  
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Vascular Imaging And CO2
Pre-procedure Vascular Imaging with CTA and MRA using post processing software has become routine in most labs. Advances in intra-procedural imaging using CO2 and Flouro-CT are becoming routine. These techniques, and how they help IR procedures will be discussed.
