7:30 AM - 9:00 AM Venous Intervention/CCSVI:
Various topics to be discussed, including DVT, PE, SVC syndrome and a very important new area of interest to all interventional radiologists, CCSVI - Chronic CerebroSpinal Venous Insufficiency - and its relationship to MS. Devices and tools for the management of these diseases will be available for registrants to use during the course of this workshop.
  Presenters(s):Thomas O. McNamara, MD / Robert A. Lookstein, MD, FSIR, FAHA / Michael D. Dake, MD / Salvatore J.A. Sclafani, MD / Paolo Zamboni, MD  
9:00 AM - 10:30 AM AAA: New Devices, Techniques, Endoleak Management:
All aspects of AAA management will be discussed. Since Interventional Radiologists are often asked to help manage AAA endoleaks, we will review the various methods of managing endoleaks. Also, new devices for difficult AAAs requiring branched endografts and the possibility of future truly percutaneous devices will be discussed. Devices will be available for hands-on evaluation.
  Presenters(s):Michael D. Dake, MD / Eli Atar, MD / Krassi Ivancev, MD, PhD  
10:30 AM - 12:00 PM CO2 Indications And Techniques:
We often would like to use CO2 but due to inexperience or technical set up issues we choose not to, and instead use low dose contrast. Learn from the most experienced users how to easily set up and use CO2. Various indications and contraindications will be discussed. The goal is to use CO2 when appropriate.
  Presenters(s):James Caridi, MD / Yosef Golowa, MD  
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM Renal Intervention: New Devices (Hands-On):
Has the tide turned away from renal intervention or now that new devices are available has the tide turned back? Attend this session with world renowned experts on renal intervention and participate in the debate and gain hands on experience with some of the new devices specifically designed for renal intervention.
  Presenters(s):John H. Rundback, MD, FSIR, FAHA / Thomas A. Sos, MD / Kevin Herman, MD  
1:30 PM - 3:00 PM AVFs: Use Of Liquid Embolics:
Various types of peripheral AV malformations exist. Each type may require different management techniques. Whether percutaneous intervention as a standalone therapy or in combination with surgery is best will be discussed for the various forms of malformations. The various embolic agents including liquid embolics will be discussed and will be available for hands-on experience.
  Presenters(s):Robert J. Rosen, MD / Jeffrey S. Pollak, MD / Allan L. Brook, MD  
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM PVD: New Devices, Angiogenesis, Medical Management:
Peripheral vascular disease remains an important part of IR. We must stay up-to date with all the developing tools that are being introduced into the field. This short workshop will review the various new devices and improvement in medical management that has taken place over the past few years.
  Presenters(s):Andrew S. Blum, MD / Max Amor, MD / Renan Uflacker, MD

7:30 AM - 9:00 AM Cosmetic IR: How Do You Begin?:
Many Interventional Radiologists would like to venture into cosmetic medicine. We certainly have the required skills. However, we need education and instruction as to how to apply our skills. What tools and supplies are necessary? This workshop will help you get started.
  Presenters(s):David Sperling, MD / Richard A. Baum, MD  
9:00 AM - 10:30 AM New Embolization Tools And Techniques:
New devices have been developed that have simplified or made possible previously impossible procedures. The new embolization tools will be described and cases presented that will highlight the various new devices. The various devices will be available for hands-on use during the workshop.
  Presenters(s):Robert I. White, Jr., MD / Elchanan Bruckheimer, MBBS / Marc Sapoval, MD / Jafar Golzarian, MD  
10:30 AM - 12:00 PM UFE Adenomyosis, Pregnancy, Ovarian Arteries, Complications:
UFE has become a relatively routine procedure for interventional radiologists. Controversy remains with regard to several specific issues. Should patients with primarily Adenomyosis as a cause of their symptoms be offered UFE? Should patients who desire pregnancy or patients with infertility be treated? What role does the ovarian artery have in UFE therapy? Are pedunculated or submucosal fibroids treatable? Is there a size limitation? These issues and more will be addressed during this workshop.
  Presenters(s):David N. Siegel, MD / Lindsay Machan, MD / Jeffrey S. Pollak, MD  
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM Ablation Devices: Liver, Kidney, Lungs, Bone:
Several ablation devices are available for various areas of pathology. Experts in the area of ablation will discuss the pros and cons of the various devices and specific pathology that can be addressed with the various devices. Devices will be available for hands-on evaluation by the participants of this workshop.
  Presenters(s):Muneeb Ahmed, MD / Joshua L. Weintraub, MD, FSIR / Elliot Levy, MD  
1:30 PM - 3:00 PM TACE, Bland Embolization And/Or Radioembolization For Hepatic Malignancies
Various technologies are available for the treatment of hepatic non-HCC malignancies - ablation, bland embolization, TACE, y-90, hepatic perfusion, etc. The experts will discuss which therapy is best for the various frequently found hepatic malignancy.
  Presenters(s):Karen T. Brown, MD / Constantinos T. Sofocleous, MD, PhD / Matthew S. Johnson, MD  
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM TIPS/BRTO:
When is BRTO better than TIPS? Performing difficult TIPS. Complications of TIPS and BRTO Tools needed for these procedures will be discussed and available for hands-on demonstration.
  Presenters(s):Ziv J. Haskal, MD, FACR, FAHA, FSIR / Ernest J. Ring, MD / Götz M. Richter, MD, PhD / Plinio Rossi, MD
