UCLA Symposium on Advances in Treatment of Aortic Pathology
Activity Details
Activity Name:
UCLA Symposium on Advances in Treatment of Aortic Pathology
Needs Assessment:
Celebrating its 7th year, this one-day CME live virtual course will present advances in endovascular technology, conservative management, risk control, and surgical alternatives available for treatment of aortic disease. The course will focus on patient selection, evaluation, imaging, and current approaches for management and care of patients with aortic pathology. Focused presentations for physicians will involve technical aspects of surgical and endovascular technology available to treat aortic conditions. Prevention, recognition, and management of potential complications of intervention will also be discussed. Parallel morning and afternoon sessions for primary care physicians, ER physicians, allied health care personnel, including nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, will be presented, concentrating on anatomy, definitions, natural history, patient and family education, and preoperative, perioperative and postoperative management of patients undergoing aortic interventions.
Course Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, in addition to understanding the latest advances being made worldwide to manage both common and complex aortic pathology, participants will be able to: (1) Describe the anatomy of the aorta and understand the pathophysiology that leads to the formation of aneurysms and or aortic dissection. (2) Educate patients and families regarding the diagnosis, implications of the various treatment algorithms, and the importance of family history. (3) Formulate a cohesive plan for appropriate open and or endovascular treatments based on current guidelines for aortic aneurysms and dissections. (4) Recognize the risk factors that can be controlled to reduce the risk of paraplegia after aortic interventions and the risk of rupture of aortic aneurysms. (5) Incorporate in their practice alternatives available for treatment of complex aortic pathology including endovascular and surgical approaches. (6) Choose the most appropriate modality for imaging in the presence of renal insufficiency or other contraindications for contrast administration. (7) Describe methods to reduce radiation exposure during evaluation and endovascular treatment of aortic pathology. (8) Manage patients with acute or chronic aortic dissection, recognizing the importance of dynamics of the false lumen and sac behavior.
