Tenth Annual Vascular Symposium - Advancing Vascular Health: A Decade of Innovation and Collaboration

Friday, March 13, 2026, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM, Newfields, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN


The program offers a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to vascular care and treatment. Drawing on feedback from previous years, this year’s agenda includes topics identified as most relevant and will be delivered by specialists with deep expertise in their respective fields. The symposium is designed to create an ongoing educational platform and foster opportunities for expert consultation. Its primary goal is to elevate the quality of care for patients with vascular disease—ultimately improving quality of life and, in many cases, preserving life and limb. This event will share the latest advancements in managing acute and chronic venous disease, explore the role of antiplatelets, anticoagulants, and statins in vascular care, and clarify standard vascular lab practices. Additional sessions will address unique considerations in dermatologic, diabetic, arthritic, and pediatric patients, as well as evolving strategies for carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms, and lower extremity occlusive disease. We will also be discussing a section on AI into Vascular Care. We aim to provide practical insights that support comprehensive care—whether delivered by physicians, pharmacists, podiatrists, advanced practice providers, nurses, or wound care specialists.

1. Recognize the use of anticoagulants (new and old) in patients and recognize the current best practices for patients with vascular disorders, both arterial and venous.
2. Explain when Peripheral artery disease (PAD) warrants advanced imaging and interventional care, what options exist (Percutaneous or open) and the risks and benefits of each
3. Identify some of the new avenues of care and investigation in patients with carotid and AAA disease.
4. Recognize vasculitis from the dermatologic perspective.
5. Reducing health disparities in Vascular care
6. Discuss outcomes of Best-CLI Trial
