SESSION XVI SCHEDULE
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
