Peripheral
Join Me in Montreal
Peripheral vascular intervention is advancing at an incredible pace—and SCAI 2026 is your opportunity to stay ahead.
With cutting-edge techniques and breakthrough technologies, interventional cardiologists are now better equipped than ever to treat vascular disease efficiently and effectively.
Peripheral vascular disease remains a major clinical challenge, but innovation and expertise are driving real progress.
At this year’s meeting in Montreal, you’ll learn from top experts in the field, gain hands-on insights, and explore the latest strategies that are shaping the future of vascular care.

Overview
The peripheral vascular track at SCAI 2026 offers a robust and forward-looking curriculum designed to elevate your endovascular expertise. This program delivers a comprehensive overview of essential skills, clinical guidelines, and advanced techniques in peripheral arterial disease, venous thrombosis, carotid artery stenosis, and complex vascular disease management.
Attendees will gain practical insights into:
- Restenosis and acute limb ischemia
- Deep venous therapies
- Aorto-iliac and femoropopliteal interventions
- Carotid stenting and complication management
Sessions will emphasize hands-on learning through live cases, interactive workshops, and real-world device applications, while also fostering professional growth and inter-specialty collaboration.
Whether you're expanding your venous toolkit or refining your arterial strategies, this track equips you with the knowledge and skills to improve patient outcomes, optimize procedural success, and build a resilient endovascular practice.
Target Audience
Appealing to trainees, early-career physicians, and experienced practitioners in peripheral endovascular practice.
Learning Objectives
After attending SCAI 2026 Scientific Sessions, the learner will be able to:
- Assess and apply advanced endovascular techniques for managing complex peripheral arterial disease, including aorto-iliac and femoropopliteal interventions, to improve limb salvage and procedural outcomes.
- Integrate emerging therapies for deep venous thrombosis and acute limb ischemia into clinical practice, with a focus on complication management and evidence-based decision-making.
- Demonstrate proficiency in carotid stenting and restenosis prevention strategies through hands-on learning, live case observation, and collaborative workshops with leading experts in vascular care.

This session focuses on recognizing and managing common complications in interventional cardiology. Experts will address upper extremity issues, access-related bleeding and occlusion, and advanced device retrieval techniques. Through case-based discussions and practical insights, attendees will learn to anticipate, prevent, and respond to procedural challenges. The goal is to turn missteps into mastery and improve patient outcomes.
This session expands the interventionalist’s toolkit by focusing on venous disease management, from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to pelvic and superficial venous interventions. Experts will explore medical and procedural strategies, patient selection, and emerging technologies. Attendees will gain practical insights into optimizing outcomes across the spectrum of venous care. Discussions will highlight when and how to intervene for maximum impact.
This session focuses on mastering femoropopliteal interventions using the latest appropriate use criteria (AUC). Experts will share techniques for lesion crossing, preparation, and device selection, while addressing billing updates for peripheral procedures. Attendees will gain practical skills to optimize outcomes and procedural efficiency. Discussions will highlight real-world decision-making and complication management.
