Advanced Peripheral Vascular Interventional Cardiology Course
December 13–15, 2024
Join Me in Miami
The SCAI Fellows' Advanced Peripheral Vascular Interventional Cardiology Course is the leading educational opportunity for fellows-in-training to be exposed to the exponential growth of the field of peripheral vascular intervention.
This year, we have an exciting, expanded faculty and offer even broader hands-on exposure to the fundamental devices used in peripheral interventions and the newest and most innovative technologies in procedural care for atherectomy, thrombectomy, and complication management.
The course includes an extensive review of all vascular disease and an advanced review of complex arterial, venous, and pulmonary arterial therapies, it is also an opportunity for future leaders in interventional cardiology to connect and grow with SCAI leaders in vascular medicine and intervention.
Many faculty are former attendees, evidencing what a unique opportunity this is to connect with the community of vascular expertise in interventional cardiology and discuss the complexities of building a career as an interventional cardiologist in vascular medicine and intervention.

Program Overview
The SCAI Fellows Advanced Peripheral Vascular Interventional Cardiology Course is designed for fellows in training focusing on peripheral vascular disease. In this course, you will receive in-depth education and step-by-step instructions for common procedures while honing your technical skills with ultrasound-guided access simulation, a guided cadaveric leg workshop, simulations in iliac vein stenting, thrombectomy, atherectomy, and more. You will also gain valuable clinical skills and deepen your professional network by interacting with the small community of endovascular interventionalists. Your future colleagues will be there, and you should be too.
With unique access to experienced SCAI leaders, collaboration with industry, and interaction with your peers, the SCAI Fellows Advanced Peripheral Vascular Interventional Cardiology Course will enable you to:
- Analyze the impact of operator clinical and technical experience on case selection for complex endovascular therapy and adopt a graduated progression in case selection based on experience and complexity.
- Apply procedural techniques to clinical case vignettes, including complications management.
- Compare atheromatous plaque therapies.
- Describe access sites and closure techniques with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-indicated devices.
- Describe procedural therapies for pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, complex lower extremity peripheral artery disease, aortoiliac occlusive disease, and long femoropopliteal lesions.
- Determine the most effective mode of revascularization based on patient- and lesion-specific factors and discuss the role of hybrid revascularization strategies.
- Employ strategies for practice and professional development.
- Establish strategies for preprocedural planning, including the use of noninvasive imaging modalities to guide access choices.
- Plan for longitudinal management and medical optimization following lower extremity reconstruction, with a focus on team-based care.
- Review appropriate wound care and indications for limited or major amputations.
- Utilize anatomical dissections using cadaveric and 3D models and review the interventional equipment and technical skills/steps required while performing case-based simulation in a multitude of scenarios.
